A flaw was found in libucl. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted Universal Configuration Language (UCL) input that contains a key with an embedded null byte. This can cause a segmentation fault (SEGV fault) in the `ucl_object_emit` function when parsing and emitting the object, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in vstakhov libucl up to 0.9.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function ucl_parse_multiline_string of the file src/ucl_parser.c. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
