NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bibutils package and not the bibutils package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

NULL pointer dereference in the _fields_add function in fields.c in libbibcore.a in bibutils through 6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash), as demonstrated by end2xml.
