Média
| Vetor | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
iwlwifi versions 1.1.21 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to the iwl set rate function in compatible/iwl3945-base.c, which dereferences an iwl get hw mode return value without checking for NULL. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a kernel panic, via unspecified vectors during module initialization.
Recommendations
For iwlwifi versions 1.1.21 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the iwl set rate function until a patch is available. However, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
