NVD Description

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

ncmpc through 0.29 is prone to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. If a user uses the chat screen and another client sends a long chat message, a crash and denial of service could occur.
