| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 32427 | tcpdump 802.11 parse_elements() Function Off-By-One Tcpdump contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to a off-by-one heap overflow in the 'parse_elements()' function. By sending a malformed 802.11 frame, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service resulting in a loss of availability. |
