An issue was discovered in St. Jude Medical Merlin@home, versions prior to Version 8.2.2 (RF models: EX1150; Inductive models: EX1100; and Inductive models: EX1100 with MerlinOnDemand capability). The identities of the endpoints for the communication channel between the transmitter and St. Jude Medicals web site, Merlin.net, are not verified. This may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to access or influence communications between the identified endpoints.

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.
