NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sblim-sfcb package and not the sblim-sfcb package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The lookupProviders function in providerMgr.c in sblim-sfcb 1.3.4 and 1.3.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty className in a packet.
