NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream fis-gtm package and not the fis-gtm package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in FIS GT.M through V7.0-000 (related to the YottaDB code base). A lack of NULL checks in calls to ious_open in sr_unix/ious_open.c allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a NULL pointer.
