NVD Description

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

The process_chat_input function in TinTin++ 1.97.9 and WinTin++ 1.97.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a YES message without a newline character, which triggers a NULL dereference.
