Section 4.1.2 says:

   Terminals not defined in
   this document, such as ALPHA, DIGIT, SP, CR, LF, CRLF, are as defined
   in the "core" syntax in Section 6 of RFC 5234 [7] or in the message
   format syntax in RFC 5322 [4].

It should say:

   Terminals not defined in
   this document, such as ALPHA, DIGIT, SP, CR, LF, CRLF, are as defined
   in the "core" syntax in Appendix B of RFC 5234 [7] or in the message
   format syntax in RFC 5322 [4].

Notes:

The core syntax of ABNF is defined in Appendix B "Core ABNF of ABNF" of RFC 5234, not Section 6, which lists the document's references.
