CVE-2013-5132
Apple AirPort Base Station Firmware before 7.6.4 does not properly handle incorrect frame lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) by associating with the access point and then sending a short frame.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.07%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
