In UrBackup 2.2.6, an attacker can send a malformed request to the client over the network, and trigger a fileservplugin/CClientThread.cpp CClientThread::GetFileHashAndMetadata NULL pointer dereference, leading to shutting down the client application.

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.
