CVE-2026-32854 Details
Description
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.
A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in LibVNCServer versions through 0.9.15, within the HTTP proxy handling of the server's HTTP daemon. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. The issue arises from missing validation of the strchr() return values in the CONNECT and GET proxy handling paths, leading to null pointer dereferences that crash the server. This vulnerability is present when both the HTTP daemon and HTTP proxy features are enabled.
Users can upgrade to LibVNCServer versions through 0.9.15 to address this vulnerability.
