FKIE_CVE-2007-1218

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-03-02 21:18 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:37
Severity
Summary
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.
