CVSS v3.1 |
| SkyStream EMR5000 1.16 through 1.18 does not drop packets or disable the Ethernet interface when the buffers are full, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (null pointer exception and kernel panic) via a large number of packets. |
| VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0 through 10.0 for Windows Servers, and 9.0.4019 through 9.1.307 for Netware, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Remote Agent crash) via (1) a crafted packet in NDMLSRVR.DLL or (2) a request packet with an invalid (non-0) "Error Status" value, which triggers a null dereference. |
| The Q.931 dissector in Ethereal before 0.10.0, and Tethereal, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed Q.931, which triggers a null dereference. |
| The uipc system calls (uipc_syscalls.c) in OpenBSD 2.9 and 3.0 provide user mode return instead of versus rval kernel mode values to the fdrelease function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and trigger a null dereference. |
| mah-jong before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a missing argument, which triggers a null pointer dereference. |
| SMB dissector in Ethereal 0.9.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via malformed packets that cause Ethereal to dereference a NULL pointer. |
| IP fragmentation denial of service in FreeBSD allows a remote attacker to cause a crash. |
| The Negotiate Security Software Provider (SSP) interface in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash from null dereference) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted SPNEGO NegTokenInit request during authentication protocol selection. |
| ftutil.c in Freetype before 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted font file that triggers a null dereference. |
| RealNetworks Helix Universal Server 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed requests that trigger a null dereference, as demonstrated using (1) GET_PARAMETER or (2) DESCRIBE requests. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: detach and close netdevs while handling a reset
Protect the reset path from callbacks by setting the netdevs to detached
state and close any netdevs in UP state until the reset handling has
completed. During a reset, the driver will de-allocate resources for the
vport, and there is no guarantee that those will recover, which is why the
existing vport_ctrl_lock does not provide sufficient protection.
idpf_detach_and_close() is called right before reset handling. If the
reset handling succeeds, the netdevs state is recovered via call to
idpf_attach_and_open(). If the reset handling fails the netdevs remain
down. The detach/down calls are protected with RTNL lock to avoid racing
with callbacks. On the recovery side the attach can be done without
holding the RTNL lock as there are no callbacks expected at that point,
due to detach/close always being done first in that flow.
The previous logic restoring the netdevs state based on the
IDPF_VPORT_UP_REQUESTED flag in the init task is not needed anymore, hence
the removal of idpf_set_vport_state(). The IDPF_VPORT_UP_REQUESTED is
still being used to restore the state of the netdevs following the reset,
but has no use outside of the reset handling flow.
idpf_init_hard_reset() is converted to void, since it was used as such and
there is no error handling being done based on its return value.
Before this change, invoking hard and soft resets simultaneously will
cause the driver to lose the vport state:
ip -br a
<inf> UP
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens801f0/device/reset& \
ethtool -L ens801f0 combined 8
ip -br a
<inf> DOWN
ip link set <inf> up
ip -br a
<inf> DOWN
Also in case of a failure in the reset path, the netdev is left
exposed to external callbacks, while vport resources are not
initialized, leading to a crash on subsequent ifup/down:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: Fix RSS LUT NULL ptr issue after soft reset
During soft reset, the RSS LUT is freed and not restored unless the
interface is up. If an ethtool command that accesses the rss lut is
attempted immediately after reset, it will result in NULL ptr
dereference. Also, there is no need to reset the rss lut if the soft reset
does not involve queue count change.
After soft reset, set the RSS LUT to default values based on the updated
queue count only if the reset was a result of a queue count change and
the LUT was not configured by the user. In all other cases, don't touch
the LUT.
Steps to reproduce:
** Bring the interface down (if up)
ifconfig eth1 down
** update the queue count (eg., 27->20)
ethtool -L eth1 combined 20
** display the RSS LUT
ethtool -x eth1

<snip> |
| Null pointer dereference in Windows LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| The application does not validate the presence of required appearance (AP) data before accessing stamp annotation resources. When a PDF contains a stamp annotation missing its AP entry, the code continues to dereference the associated object without a prior null or validity check, which allows a crafted document to trigger a null pointer dereference and crash the application, resulting in denial of service. |
| In systemd 260 before 261, a local unprivileged user can trigger an assert via an IPC API call with an array or map that has a null element. |
| Verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate with an unknown public key algorithm will cause Certificate.Verify to panic. This affects all crypto/tls clients, and servers that set Config.ClientAuth to VerifyClientCertIfGiven or RequireAndVerifyClientCert. The default behavior is for TLS servers to not verify client certificates. |
| ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. A request with a number of headers exceeding theserver.maxHeadersCount threshold could be used to crash a ws server. The vulnerability was fixed in ws@8.17.1 (e55e510) and backported to ws@7.5.10 (22c2876), ws@6.2.3 (eeb76d3), and ws@5.2.4 (4abd8f6). In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options so that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent. 2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to 0 so that no limit is applied. |
| A nil pointer dereference in PingCAP TiDB v8.2.0-alpha-216-gfe5858b allows attackers to crash the application via expression.inferCollation. |
| A vulnerability was found in HTACG tidy-html5 5.8.0. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function InsertNodeAsParent of the file src/parser.c. The manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. |
| Team ENVY, a Security Research TEAM has found a flaw that allows for a remote code execution on the NVR. If an attacker does not enter any value for a specific URL parameter, NULL pointer references will occur and the NVR will reboot. The manufacturer has released patch firmware for the flaw, please refer to the manufacturer's report for details and workarounds. |
