Four vulnerabilities have been identified in the drivers for Broadcom wireless chips. In the simplest case, these vulnerabilities could be exploited to remotely trigger a denial of service, but scenarios are not excluded in which exploits could be developed, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to execute their code with Linux kernel privileges by sending specially crafted packets.
