Advancecomp · Advancecomp · CVE-2019-8379
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
AdvanceCOMP versions prior to 2.1
**Description**
An issue exists in the function `be uint32 read()` located in `endianrw.h`, which can cause a NULL pointer dereference. This can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary, allowing an attacker to cause a Denial of Service or possibly have other unspecified impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file.
**Recommendations**
For AdvanceCOMP versions prior to 2.1, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `be uint32 read()` function until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
