CVE-2010-4648: Linux Kernel

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 2.6.36.4; version 2.6.36.1 only; version 2.6.36.2 only; version 2.6.36.3 only
