Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to null pointer dereference in httpProcessInput in src/libvncserver/httpd.c when handling malformed CONNECT or GET requests to the HTTP proxy handlers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service.

Only configurations with both the non-default -httpd and -enablehttpproxy options enabled are vulnerable.
