CVSS v3.1 |
| Netcore NR256CN through 1.5.140116 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Boa web server's user_auth() function that allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the server via a malformed Authorization header. Attackers can send a Basic Authorization value lacking a colon, such as one decoding to a single character, to protected routes like /router/get_user_type.cgi to kill the main Boa process and deny management interface access. |
| The policy RPC stubs in kadmin/server/server_stubs.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5.3 and later do not reject a NULL policy name decoded by xdr_nullstring(), which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (kadmind crash via NULL pointer dereference) by sending a policy request with an empty policy name that reaches authorization checks or logging code. |
| usbh_device_init() in subsys/usb/host/usbh_device.c rejects a device whose device descriptor advertises bNumConfigurations == 0, but it only logs the error and jumps to the cleanup label without setting the return code. At that point the local err is still 0 from the preceding successful descriptor read, so the function returns success while having skipped usbh_device_set_configuration() — the only place udev->cfg_desc is allocated. The device structure is zero-initialised by usbh_device_alloc(), so udev->cfg_desc remains NULL.
usbh_device_connect() treats the zero return as a successful enumeration and calls usbh_class_probe_device(), which starts its descriptor walk from udev->cfg_desc. usbh_desc_get_next_function() passes that NULL pointer to usbh_desc_is_valid(), whose only guard compares the caller-supplied size, so head->bLength is read through a NULL pointer.
The condition is triggered entirely by the attached peripheral: attaching a USB device (or any USB gadget emulating one) that reports bNumConfigurations = 0 reaches the defect directly from the UHC_EVT_DEV_CONNECTED_FS/_HS event handler in subsys/usb/host/usbh_core.c, with no authentication and no user interaction beyond the physical attachment.
On targets where page zero is unmapped or CONFIG_NULL_POINTER_EXCEPTION_DETECTION is enabled this raises a fatal exception in the USB host thread, denying service to the host. Where address zero is readable, the descriptor walker instead parses low memory as a descriptor chain and can dispatch a class probe() with attacker-influenced values, causing further out-of-bounds reads through the still-NULL udev->cfg_desc in usbh_desc_get_iface(). No attacker-controlled write was identified, so the impact is availability plus a bounded out-of-bounds read. Note that CONFIG_USB_HOST_STACK is marked experimental. |
| A flaw was found in mod_cluster's AdvertiseListenerImpl (org.jboss.modcluster core module). A single crafted UDP multicast datagram with a valid HTTP status line and a "Server:" header but without the "Date:", "Digest:", and "Sequence:" headers triggers a NullPointerException in verifyDigest() that is not caught by the worker thread's exception handler. This causes the advertise listener thread to terminate permanently. The failure is silent (isListening() continues to return true) and persists until the node is restarted. The crash occurs before the AdvertiseSecurityKey comparison, so deployments with a configured security key are still affected. |
| Muhammara is a node module with c/cpp bindings to modify PDF with JavaScript for node or electron. Prior to 6.0.5, Muhammara PDFParser::CreateFilterForStream() in src/deps/PDFWriter/PDFParser.cpp dereferences a null PDFInteger pointer when a PDF stream uses the LZWDecode filter with a DecodeParms dictionary that omits the EarlyChange key. An application that processes an untrusted PDF and reads the affected stream can crash, causing a denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 6.0.5. |
| Fraunhofer HHI VVdeC through 3.2.1 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in InterPrediction::xPredInterBlk that allows attackers to crash the decoder by switching SPS to enable reference wrap-around. Attackers can supply a crafted VVC bitstream activating a new SPS with sps_ref_wraparound_enabled_flag set, causing reads from missing PIC_RECON_WRAP buffers and denial of service. |
| FFmpeg 4.4 through 9.0.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in libavcodec/adxdec.c because adx_decode_header() updates the channel layout before validating the sample rate. Attackers can supply a crafted ADX/AAX stream with mid-stream new-extradata side data carrying an invalid sample rate, causing adx_decode() to write through NULL plane pointers and crash the application. |
| FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in libavcodec/dpxenc.c that allows attackers to crash the process via unvalidated bits_per_raw_sample for RGB48 input. Attackers can supply a 12-bit RGB image, such as JPEG 2000, that when transcoded to DPX selects encode_gbrp12() and dereferences NULL plane pointers, causing denial of service. |
| FFmpeg 7.1 through 9.0.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in ff_dovi_rpu_generate() in libavcodec/dovi_rpuenc.c that allows attackers to crash applications via crafted Dolby Vision RPU metadata. Attackers can supply streams with default or alternating omitted DM blocks to the dovi_rpu bitstream filter with compression enabled, causing denial of service. |
| A post-authentication NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in SonicOS allows a remote attacker to crash a firewall. |
| Vikunja from 0.24.0 before 2.7.1 contains a nil pointer dereference vulnerability that allows project admins to break project views by saving a filter-mode bucket configuration with a null filter. Because validateProjectViewFilters skips nil entries, every subsequent read of the view panics in kanban and task collection code, returning HTTP 500 to all project members. |
| As part of Cisco's ongoing commitment to proactive security and product quality, the Cisco Expressway Series software engineering team has conducted a comprehensive internal security review. This review resulted in software hardening releases that address multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities.
The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-76492 are related to issues concerning null pointers that are grouped under the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Base CWE-476. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix fiemap wild read on empty truncated response
smb3_fiemap() treats -E2BIG from SMB2_ioctl() as a truncated range blob
and loops for the next chunk. If the server reports
STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW with OutputCount == 0, SMB2_ioctl() returns
-E2BIG with out_data == NULL and out_data_len == 0, and the existing
length checks accept the empty result. The loop then evaluates
next = out_data[num - 1].file_offset + ...
with num == 0, reading 16 bytes before NULL.
Reject a truncated range blob that contains no range, so the resume
offset is never computed from an empty response. Also require the last
range in a truncated blob to advance the resume offset without
overflowing, and to stay within the requested range; a malicious or
broken server could otherwise make no progress or underflow len and loop
forever. Free the previous response buffer before retrying.
Reproduced on 6.6.87.2 with a malicious SMB2 server that answers
FSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES with STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW and
OutputCount == 0; an FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl on the mount oopses in
cifs_fiemap() with CR2 = fffffffffffffff8. The code path is unchanged
on mainline. |
| A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in dbFree in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c in the journaling file system (JFS) in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a missing sanity check. |
| A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service. |
| A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in the networking sub-component in vmxnet3 in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with normal user privilege to cause a denial of service due to a missing sanity check during cleanup. |
| A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash the system. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in netlink_dump. This issue can occur when the Netlink socket receives the message(sendmsg) for the XFRM_MSG_GETSA, XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY type message, and the DUMP flag is set and can cause a denial of service or possibly another unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although it is unlikely. |
| FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability that allows malicious RDP servers to crash xfreerdp clients by sending a zero-width RDPGFX ResetGraphics PDU. The failed resize in gdi_resize_ex leaves the primary display null without ending the session, so a later bitmap update crashes the client in gdi_Bitmap_Paint. |
| In BuildKit versions v0.26.0 through v0.34.1, a specific build definition that resolves metadata for the same Git source reference twice can cause the BuildKit daemon to panic and crash, interrupting builds handled by that daemon. The issue is fixed in v0.34.2. |
