Researchers discovered a vulnerability in the 802.11n wireless networking standard that could be exploited by a remote attacker to target wireless networks.
According to researchers from the Expertise Centre for Digital Media at the Hasselt University in Belgium, the frame aggregation mechanism implemented by the 802.11n wireless networking standard is affected by a security a vulnerability that can be exploited by a remote attacker.
The 802.11n standard is designed to increase the improve network throughput of wireless networks, their reliability and of course their security. The standard extends the range of wireless transmissions and implements a frame aggregation mechanism to the media access control (MAC) layer that reduces the overheads and increases throughput by sending two or more data frames in a single transmission.
