CVE-2010-4648 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
