An exploitable null pointer dereference exists in the Web Application functionality of Moxa AWK-3131A Wireless Access Point running firmware 1.1. Any HTTP GET request not preceded by an / will cause a segmentation fault in the web server. An attacker can send any of a multitude of potentially unexpected HTTP get requests to trigger this vulnerability.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
