Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-12-06 15:46 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:47
Severity
Summary
The iwl_set_rate function in compatible/iwl3945-base.c in iwlwifi 1.1.21 and earlier dereferences an iwl_get_hw_mode return value without checking for NULL, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via unspecified vectors during module initialization.
