tcpdump: denial of service

Package(s):tcpdump CVE #(s):CVE-2007-1218
Created:March 5, 2007 Updated:November 15, 2007
Description: 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.
