| CVE-2025-31115 | Hig | 0.50 | — | 0.00 | Apr 3, 2025 | XZ Utils provide a general-purpose data-compression library plus command-line tools. In XZ Utils 5.3.3alpha to 5.8.0, the multithreaded .xz decoder in liblzma has a bug where invalid input can at least result in a crash. The effects include heap use after free and writing to an address based on the null pointer plus an offset. Applications and libraries that use the lzma_stream_decoder_mt function are affected. The bug has been fixed in XZ Utils 5.8.1, and the fix has been committed to the v5.4, v5.6, v5.8, and master branches in the xz Git repository. No new release packages will be made from the old stable branches, but a standalone patch is available that applies to all affected releases. | |

| CVE-2016-7132 | Hig | 0.50 | 7.5 | 0.15 | Sep 12, 2016 | ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an invalid wddxPacket XML document that is mishandled in a wddx_deserialize call, as demonstrated by a stray element inside a boolean element, leading to incorrect pop processing. | |
| CVE-2005-0772 | Hig | 0.50 | 7.5 | 0.11 | Jun 28, 2005 | VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0 through 10.0 for Windows Servers, and 9.0.4019 through 9.1.307 for Netware, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Remote Agent crash) via (1) a crafted packet in NDMLSRVR.DLL or (2) a request packet with an invalid (non-0) "Error Status" value, which triggers a null dereference. | |
| CVE-2026-42409 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 13, 2026 | When an HTTP/2 profile and an iRule containing the HTTP::redirect or HTTP::respond command are configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. | |
| CVE-2026-40405 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 12, 2026 | Null pointer dereference in Windows TCP/IP allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. | |
| CVE-2025-40833 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 12, 2026 | The affected devices contain a null pointer dereference vulnerability while processing specially crafted IPv4 requests. This could allow an attacker to cause denial of service condition. A manual restart is required to recover the system. | |
| CVE-2026-7262 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 10, 2026 | In PHP versions 8.2.* before 8.2.31, 8.3.* before 8.3.31, 8.4.* before 8.4.21, and 8.5.* before 8.5.6, when a SOAP server has a typemap configured, the decoding process contains a mistake which checks the wrong variable in case of missing value element. This leads to dereferences a NULL pointer, causing a segmentation fault. This allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the PHP SOAP server process, resulting in denial of service. | |
| CVE-2026-39836 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 7, 2026 | The Dial and LookupPort functions panic on Windows when provided with an input containing a NUL (0). | |
| CVE-2026-42285 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 7, 2026 | GoBGP is an open source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation in the Go Programming Language. In version 4.4.0, an unauthenticated remote BGP peer can trigger a fatal panic in GoBGP by sending a specially crafted BGP UPDATE message. When the server receives a message with inconsistent attribute lengths, it improperly handles the internal state transition to a "withdraw" action, leading to a nil pointer dereference in the AdjRib.Update function. This causes the entire GoBGP process to crash, resulting in a complete loss of service availability. This issue has been patched in version 4.5.0. |
