Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Null pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU15322
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18065
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the _set_key() function, as defined in the agent/helpers/table_container.c source code file due to a NULL pointer exception bug. A remote attacker can send a malicious UDP packet, trigger a NULL pointer dereference condition, cause the application to crash.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
