NVD Description

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

An exploitable NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the MQTT packet parsing functionality of Cesanta Mongoose 6.8. An MQTT SUBSCRIBE packet can cause a NULL pointer dereference leading to server crash and denial of service. An attacker needs to send a specially crafted MQTT packet over the network to trigger this vulnerability.
