CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects nDPI 5.1.0, specifically in the DNS dissector and serializer deserialization code, where improperly aligned memory access can occur due to crafted network input. This can lead to undefined behavior, potentially causing process termination and resulting in denial of service on strict-alignment architectures. Organizations using nDPI should prioritize addressing this issue to mitigate the risk of service disruptions.

Original NVD Description
nDPI 5.1.0 contains a memory access issue in the DNS dissector and serializer deserialization code. Specially crafted network input can cause byte-buffer addresses at odd offsets to be cast to uint16_t or wider integer pointers and directly dereferenced without alignment checks. This results in undefined behavior and can cause process termination in UBSan-instrumented builds or on strict-alignment architectures, leading to denial of service.
