Title: | Off-by-one buffer overflow in the parse_elements function in the 802.11 printer code (print-802_11.c) for tcpdump 3.9.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted 802.11 frame. NOTE: this was originally referred to as heap-based, but it might be stack-based. | ||

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. |
