Description

A flaw was found in the Capstone disassembly framework. This vulnerability, a null pointer dereference, can be exploited by a remote attacker. By providing a specially crafted input containing a specific 4-byte sequence during the disassembly of 3DNow! opcodes, the attacker can cause any application using the reduced X86 Capstone library to crash, leading to a denial of service (DoS).

Statement

A flaw was found in the Capstone disassembly framework. A NULL pointer dereference in modRMRequired() and decode() when disassembling 3DNow! opcodes can crash applications using Capstone. This vulnerability only affects builds compiled with the -DCAPSTONE_X86_REDUCE flag; standard full builds are not vulnerable.
