** Description changed:

- A logic error in the orinoco_ioctl_set_auth() function in the Linux
- kernel's ORiNOCO wireless extensions support implementation could render
- TKIP countermeasures ineffective when it is enabled, as it enabled the
- card instead of shutting it down.
+ 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.
