CVE-2009-4501  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade zabbix/zabbix to version 1.6.8 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The zbx_get_next_field function in libs/zbxcommon/str.c in Zabbix Server before 1.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a request that lacks expected separators, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated using the Command keyword.
