CWE – 476 : NULL Pointer Dereference
Product Details
abcm2ps is a command line program which converts ABC to music sheet in PostScript or SVG format.
URL: https://github.com/leesavide/abcm2ps
Vulnerable Versions
1.8.2
Vulnerability Details
As per our research, We discovered Null pointer dereference in calculate_beam() at draw.c:341. s->ts_prev is not being validated. which can lead to a denial of service attack
SYNOPSIS
In Progress
Vulnerable Source code
while (s->ts_prev->abc_type == ABC_T_NOTE
&& s->ts_prev->time == s->time
&& s->ts_prev->x > s1->xs)
s = s->ts_prev;
