The Apple Package Manager in KisMAC 0.02a and earlier modifies file permissions of sensitive files after installation, which could allow attackers to conduct unauthorized activities on those files.

KisMAC before 0.05d trusts user-supplied variables to load arbitrary kernels or kernel modules, which allows local users to gain privileges via the $DRIVER_KEXT environment variable as used in (1) viha_driver.sh, (2) macjack_load.sh, or (3) airojack_load.sh, or (4) via "similar techniques" using exchangeKernel.sh.

KisMAC before 0.05d trusts user-supplied variables when chown'ing files or directories, which allows local users to gain privileges via the $DRIVER_KEXT environment variable in (1) viha_driver.sh, (2) macjack_load.sh, (3) airojack_load.sh, (4) setuid_enable.sh, (5) setuid_disable.sh, and using a "similar technique" for (6) viha_prep.sh and (7) viha_unprep.sh.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the parseTaggedData function in WavePacket.mm in KisMAC R54 through R73p allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple SSIDs in a Cisco vendor tag in a 802.11 management frame.
