Low signal — verdict needed
Few public signals point to active risk. Whether a scanner hit here is a true or false positive depends on your version and config — community verdicts decide.

LibVNCServer versions 0.9.15 and prior (fixed in commit dc78dee) contain null pointer dereference vulnerabilities in the HTTP proxy handlers within httpProcessInput() in httpd.c that allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. Attackers can exploit missing validation of strchr() return values in the CONNECT and GET proxy handling paths to trigger null pointer dereferences and crash the server when httpd and proxy features are enabled.

FlexRIC v2.0.0 crashes when the near-RT RIC receives a RIC_INDICATION message with a ran_func_id that does not exist in its registry. The lookup returns NULL, triggering assert() in Debug builds (SIGABRT) or NULL pointer dereference in Release builds (SIGSEGV). A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the near-RT RIC (port 36421) by sending a crafted RIC_INDICATION with an arbitrary ran_func_id value.
- CVE-2026-37226HIGH 7.5
FlexRIC v2.0.0 crashes when the iApp receives an E42_RIC_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUEST referencing a non-existent E2 Node. The lookup function returns NULL, which is enforced by assert() in Debug builds (SIGABRT) and dereferenced in Release builds (SIGSEGV). A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the iApp process (port 36422) by sending a subscription request with an arbitrary global_e2_node_id.
- CVE-2025-70099HIGH 7.5
A NULL pointer dereference in the ext4_dir_en_get_name_len function in include/ext4_dir.h of lwext4 1.0.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service by supplying a specially crafted EXT4 filesystem image with malformed directory entries. During directory iteration, the code may fail to validate the directory entry pointer before accessing the name_len field, resulting in a segmentation fault. This affects versions based on (or equivalent to) the 2016-era codebase (1.0.0).
