CVE-2005-2627
Multiple integer underflows in Kismet before 2005-08-R1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) kernel headers in a pcap file or (2) data frame dissection, which leads to heap-based buffer overflows.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
