NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lasso-devel package and not the lasso-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The prefix variable in the get_or_define_ns function in Lasso before commit 6d854cef4211cdcdbc7446c978f23ab859847cdd allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and application crash) via unspecified vectors.
