CVE-2007-5938

Publication date 6 December 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The iwl_set_rate function in compatible/iwl3945-base.c in iwlwifi 1.1.21 and earlier dereferences an iwl_get_hw_mode return value without checking for NULL, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via unspecified vectors during module initialization.
