SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP and ABAP Platform allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a maliciously crafted http request which could cause a null pointer dereference in the kernel. This dereference will result in the system crashing and rebooting, causing the system to be temporarily unavailable. There is no impact on Confidentiality or Integrity.
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.
