http://secunia.com/advisories/22800/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
ELOG 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/4657/

DESCRIPTION:
Jayesh KS and Arun Kethipelly have discovered a vulnerability in
ELOG, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference error
when handling an URL with the logbook set to "global" (e.g.
"http://[host]:8080/global/").

Successful exploitation crashes the elogd daemon, but requires valid
user credentials when a read password is globally configured.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.6.2-1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.6.2-7.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jayesh KS and Arun Kethipelly
