FKIE_CVE-2010-4648

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2012-06-21 23:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:25
Severity
Summary
The orinoco_ioctl_set_auth function in drivers/net/wireless/orinoco/wext.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not properly implement a TKIP protection mechanism, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access to a Wi-Fi network by reading Wi-Fi frames.
