NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream advancecomp package and not the advancecomp package as distributed by Ubuntu.
An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function be_uint32_read() located in endianrw.h. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file.
