Incorrect handling of an invalid value for an HTTP request parameter by Directory Server (aka Enterprise Server Administration web UI) in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server 2.3 Update 2 and earlier, 3.0 before Patch Update 12, and 4.0 before Patch Update 2 causes a null pointer dereference (CWE-476) and subsequent denial of service due to process termination.

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.
