DescriptionCVE.org

ccoap 77f55c4b466e99327c24ace8a2913d3ba7e2ccd5 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in the coap_server_handle_session() function when processing COAP messages containing URI_PATH options with NULL data pointers. When the server searches for a URI_PATH option matching the string "separate", it directly calls strncmp() on option_list[i].data without checking if the pointer is NULL. This causes a segmentation fault when the option's data field is NULL.

AnalysisAI

Null pointer dereference in ccoap's CoAP server (commit 77f55c4b) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the server process by sending a crafted CoAP message. The vulnerability exists in coap_server_handle_session(), which calls strncmp() on a URI_PATH option's data pointer without first validating that the pointer is non-NULL, triggering a segmentation fault on receipt of a malformed packet. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions - unauthenticated remote exploitation against any ccoap server instance (at commit 77f55c4b) accessible over UDP on its CoAP listening port. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) accurately captures the risk envelope: any network-reachable ccoap server can be crashed with a single malformed CoAP packet requiring no authentication and minimal effort. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch or tagged fix version has been identified at time of analysis; the vulnerability report references the upstream repository at https://github.com/ipflavors/ccoap but no remediation commit or release is cited. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
