Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in MaxDB, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) A NULL pointer dereference error in the "sapdbwa_GetUserData()" function can be exploited to crash the web agent by requesting the WebDAV handler with invalid parameters.
2) An error within the processing of HTTP headers can be exploited to crash the web agent via a specially crafted HTTP request.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 7.5.00 for Linux and Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 7.5.00.21 or later.
