Judge Azmi Ariffin on Monday sentenced Doan Thi Huong to three years and four months in prison, after she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of "voluntarily causing hurt."
However, the judge awarded her a remission of one third of the sentence, which cut her prison time by a third.
In addition, the judge decided the sentence would run from the time she was first remanded in prison from February 2017, which would allow her to be released as early as May.
The 30-year-old Vietnamese had stood accused of assassinating Kim Jong Nam by smearing a deadly VX nerve agent on his face at a Kuala Lumpur airport in February 2017, in a brazenly-executed attack that shocked the world.
