Wireless Card Issue

[vivadelkitty]

So, my wireless is teh fekked up right now. I tried to install some new drivers, which ended up making my wireless stop working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but it still doesn't work, and now my computer randomly freezes whenever it's on for more than five minutes. It's a Railink card, not sure what model though. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Some Ralinktech wireless cards drivers are suffer from integer overflow. by sending
malformed 802.11 Probe Request packet with no care about victim's MAC\BSS\SSID can cause to
remote code execution in kernel mode.

In order to exploit this issue, the attacker should send a Probe
Request packet with SSID length bigger then 128 bytes (but less then 256) when the victim's card is in ADHOC mode.
attacker shouldn't be on the same network nor even know the MAC\BSS\SSID, he can just send it broadcast.

Tested on Ralink USB wireless adapter (RT73) V3.08 on win2k with the latest driver version.
Status: Unpatched ,vulnerability reported to vendor.
Oses: Windows\linux drivers.

Bam.

Other websites claim the problem affects additional OSes.

Is there any way to fix the problem, though?
