Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2010-4648 (CCN-65352)

Assigned:2010-12-08
Published:2010-12-08
Updated:2023-02-13
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.
