Title
Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 versions before 1.98 for Perl allow a NULL pointer dereference in print_attribute via a zero length BMPSTRING attribute
Summary
Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 versions before 1.98 for Perl allow a NULL pointer dereference in print_attribute via a zero length BMPSTRING attribute.
print_attribute() sizes the destination buffer for a BMPSTRING attribute from its declared byte length with `Renew(*attribute, length, char)`. A zero length attribute makes that a zero size reallocation, which Perl implements as a free returning NULL, so the buffer pointer becomes NULL, the following `strncpy` copies nothing, and the caller dereferences NULL in the `strlen()` it passes to `newSVpvn()`. A zero length BMPSTRING is even length, so the ASN.1 decoder accepts it and the value reaches this code. The UTF8STRING, OCTET STRING and BIT STRING arms size on `length + 1` or `length * 4 + 1` and are unaffected.
Any caller that passes an untrusted PKCS#12 file to info_as_hash() can crash the process. info() prints attribute values directly without sizing a buffer and is unaffected.

Title
Unauthenticated Denial of Service via Null Pointer Dereference in HTTP Request Parsing
Summary
A NULL
pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the HTTP request parsing
functionality of
TL-MR6400 v7. An unauthenticated remote attacker can
trigger the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request
containing a malformed session cookie header.
Successful
exploitation may cause the HTTP service process to crash, resulting in a
denial-of-service condition and temporary loss of management or CGI
functionality until service recovery.

Title
open62541 Shared Client ua_client_connect.c responseReadNamespacesArray null pointer dereference
Summary
A vulnerability was identified in open62541 up to 1.5.5. Affected by this issue is the function responseReadNamespacesArray of the file src/client/ua_client_connect.c of the component Shared Client Library. Such manipulation of the argument Server_NamespaceArray leads to null pointer dereference. The attack can be executed remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project closed the issue report, stating that this is not the official way to report a security vulnerability.

Affected by this issue is the function responseReadNamespacesArray of the file src/client/ua_client_connect.c of the component Shared Client Library. Such manipulation of the argument Server_NamespaceArray leads to null pointer dereference. The attack can be executed remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project closed the issue report, stating that this is not the official way to report a security vulnerability."

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation
For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].
Mitigation
Requirements
Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.
Mitigation
Implementation
Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.
Mitigation
Implementation
Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
