NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pspp package and not the pspp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is a NULL Pointer Dereference in the function ll_insert() of the libpspp library in GNU PSPP before 0.11.0. For example, a crash was observed within the library code when attempting to convert invalid SPSS data into CSV format. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
