NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntopng package and not the ntopng package as distributed by Debian.

The NetworkInterface::getHost function in NetworkInterface.cpp in ntopng before 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty field that should have contained a hostname or IP address.
