DESCRIPTION:
Abdul-Aziz Hariri has discovered a vulnerability in MaxDB, 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
in the SAP DBTech-MAXDB service (kernel.exe) when processing certain
login handshake packets. This can be exploited to crash the service
via specially crafted packets sent to e.g. TCP port 7200 or 7210.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 7.8.01.18. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Abdul-Aziz Hariri via Secunia.
