Candidate: CVE-2007-5938
Description:
 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.
