Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU37461
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7866
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in newVar3 in util/decompile.c in libming 0.4.8. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
