ccn-lite-valid.c in CCN-lite before 2.00 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving the keyfile variable.

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.
