CVE-2010-4648 - Sexagesimal Part

Description

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.
