actually, there may be ways of fixing it in the kernel, but that would

Yeah, it would be extremely ugly and involve a lot of copying around
when the app actually receives the data.

	I've just released wireless_tools.29.pre15.tar.gz. This is
supposed to include a "band-aid" for that problem. To the best of my
knowledge, it should catch the problem and not introduce false
positive. I would be glad if you guys would have a quick look into it,
because obviously I can't test it.

I looked at the diff between pre14 and pre15 but have to admit that I
don't understand the code change. Unfortunately I can't test this until
the 20th earliest so it'd be good if someone else could test this.

Btw, could you look at the information leak patch I posted? We really
need to get that fix (or another appropriate one) out asap.
