Описание
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the GnuTLS software in _gnutls_figure_common_ciphersuite().
Отчет
Within regulated environments, a combination of the following controls acts as a significant barrier to successfully exploiting a CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability and therefore downgrades the severity of this particular CVE from Moderate to Low. The platform incorporates secure engineering principles and controls to enforce secure coding practices, including proper memory handling and error checking, reducing the likelihood of null pointer dereference vulnerabilities. Coding standards, tools, and processes support early detection and prevention of memory-related flaws. Static code analysis identifies null dereference and related issues during development, while system monitoring detects memory errors and anomalous behavior in the event of exploitation. Additionally, the platform leverages memory protection mechanisms such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) to strengthen resilience against memory-related vulnerabilities.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the GnuTLS software in _gnutls_figure_common_ciphersuite(). When it reads certain settings from a template file, it can allow an attacker to cause an out-of-bounds (OOB) NULL pointer write, resulting in memory corruption and a denial of service (DoS) that could crash the system.
