Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Kismet, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service.
The first flaw is due to an error in the handling of unprintable characters in the SSID (the impact of this issue is currently unknown).
The second issue is due to integer underflow errors in the pcap handling, which could be exploited to cause heap corruption.
The third vulnerability is due to an integer underflow in CDP protocol dissector, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
