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.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
