Technical details

A NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) exists in the httpsd daemon's HTTP request handling logic, specifically triggered by crafted HTTP requests in the log report summary component. The vulnerability requires prior authentication to the web interface. An authenticated attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests that cause a NULL pointer to be dereferenced, crashing the httpsd daemon and causing denial of service. Patches are available: FortiOS 7.4 and 7.2 require migration to fixed versions; FortiPAM 1.9.0 is fixed in 1.9.1 or above; FortiProxy 7.6.0–7.6.6 is fixed in 7.6.7 or above; other FortiPAM and FortiProxy versions require migration to fixed releases.
