| A NULL pointer dereference in the illumos Network Auto-Magic daemon (nwamd) allows a local user to crash the daemon. nwamd_door_switch() in usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/lib/nwamd/door_if.c writes to the caller's request structure before checking that a request was supplied, and before checking the caller's credentials. Because the nwamd door at /etc/svc/volatile/nwam/nwam_door is accessible to all local users, an unprivileged user can issue a door_call() with no argument data to crash nwamd; repeated calls place the svc:/network/physical:nwam service into maintenance, stopping automatic network configuration. nwamd runs only when svc:/network/physical:nwam is enabled, which is not the default. The flaw has existed since 2010 (illumos-gate commit 6ba597c5), and affects any illumos distribution prior to illumos-gate commit 0f1064d9. |
| A flaw was found in libhangul. When parsing Hanja dictionary files, the library fails to verify that an entry contains a valid value alongside its key. By providing a specially crafted dictionary file to an application that queries it, an attacker can trigger an unexpected application crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). |
| OpenPrinting CUPS before 2.4.20 contains a NULL pointer dereference in cupsdCheckJobs() when a job marked job-held-on-create refers to a temporary printer that has been automatically deleted. Temporary-printer cleanup can remove the destination without canceling its held jobs, and the scheduler dereferences the NULL result of cupsdFindDest() while checking holding_new_jobs. This terminates cupsd and interrupts all queues managed by that process. In some plausible scenarios, an unprivileged submission can trigger this. |
| MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) through 1.22.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference in make_cred_list() in rd_cred.c that allows authenticated Kerberos clients to crash services by sending mismatched KRB-CRED arrays. Attackers can send forwarded credentials with more tickets than ticket_info entries through gss_accept_sec_context() to crash GSS-API acceptor services, causing denial of service. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ip6t_rpfilter: reject routes without inet6_dev
ip6_route_lookup() can return an error-free route whose rt6i_idev is
NULL. Lowering an external nexthop device's MTU below IPV6_MIN_MTU tears
down its inet6_dev while fib6_ifdown() leaves routes using nexthop objects
in the FIB. An unprivileged user can construct this state with rtnetlink
in a private user and network namespace, then trigger a NULL dereference
through an IPv6 rpfilter lookup:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc0000000000
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

Reject routes without an inet6_dev immediately after lookup. Such routes
are not eligible for reverse-path filtering, and the check protects all
later rt6i_idev dereferences. |
| On affected Arista Wi-Fi access points with Captive Portal enabled, an unauthenticated wireless client connected to a captive-portal-enabled SSID can crash the portal service with a crafted HTTP request. The service automatically restarts, but a sustained low-rate attack can cause a persistent denial of service of the captive portal. Remote code execution is not possible. |
| A flaw was found in m17n-lib. A partial failure during library initialization can leave an internal driver pointer uninitialized. Under specific error conditions, such as system resource exhaustion or database corruption, an application attempting to open an input method dereferences this null pointer without proper validation. This issue causes the application to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Win8ScreenDriver component of GlavSoft TightVNC Server for Windows before 2.8.88 allows an attacker to crash the server, causing a denial of service. When re-initialization of the DXGI Desktop Duplication driver fails in applyNewScreenProperties() (for example after a GPU reset, display hot-plug or session change), m_drvImpl is left NULL and is subsequently dereferenced without a check by executeDetection(), getScreenBuffer(), grabFb(), getScreenPropertiesChanged() and getCursorPosition(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Skip KFD mapping clear before initialization
amdgpu_amdkfd_clear_kfd_mapping() assumes that a non-NULL kfd_dev
has a fully populated node array. This is not true when KFD device
initialization fails after probe.
For example, kgd2kfd_device_init() sets num_nodes before checking
PCIe atomics support. On Polaris systems without the required atomics,
it returns before allocating nodes[0], but the kfd_dev remains attached
to the amdgpu device. A later GPU reset then dereferences nodes[0]->id.
Require the authoritative KFD initialization flag before walking the
node array, matching the existing KFD reset and teardown paths.

| NULL Pointer Dereference in function vim_regexec_string at regexp.c:2733 in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4938. NULL Pointer Dereference in function vim_regexec_string at regexp.c:2733 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted input. |
| NULL Pointer Dereference in function vim_regexec_string at regexp.c:2729 in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4901. NULL Pointer Dereference in function vim_regexec_string at regexp.c:2729 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted input. |
| A race condition in the Linux kernel before 5.5.7 involving VT_RESIZEX could lead to a NULL pointer dereference and general protection fault. |
| There's a flaw in bfd_pef_parse_function_stubs of bfd/pef.c in binutils in versions prior to 2.34 which could allow an attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by objdump to cause a NULL pointer dereference. The greatest threat of this flaw is to application availability. |
| An h2c direct connection to Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M6, 9.0.0.M5 to 9.0.36 and 8.5.1 to 8.5.56 did not release the HTTP/1.1 processor after the upgrade to HTTP/2. If a sufficient number of such requests were made, an OutOfMemoryException could occur leading to a denial of service. |
| In libarchive before 3.6.2, the software does not check for an error after calling calloc function that can return with a NULL pointer if the function fails, which leads to a resultant NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: the discoverer cites this CWE-476 remark but third parties dispute the code-execution impact: "In rare circumstances, when NULL is equivalent to the 0x0 memory address and privileged code can access it, then writing or reading memory is possible, which may lead to code execution." |
| NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.5163. |
| The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, when a device supporting only 5 GHz is used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the radiotap parser) by injecting a frame with 802.11a rates. |
| A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU Nouveau driver functionality in versions prior to 5.12-rc1 in the way the user calls ioctl DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_ALLOC. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. |
| Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack. OpenSSL version 1.1.1d, 1.1.1e, and 1.1.1f are affected by this issue. This issue did not affect OpenSSL versions prior to 1.1.1d. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1g (Affected 1.1.1d-1.1.1f). |
| An issue was discovered in the stv06xx subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.6.1. drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx.c and drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx_pb0100.c mishandle invalid descriptors, as demonstrated by a NULL pointer dereference, aka CID-485b06aadb93. |
