ccnl-ext-mgmt.c in CCN-lite before 2.00 allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging missing NULL pointer checks after ccnl_malloc.

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.
