webserver.c in mt-dappd in Firefly Media Server 0.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference and daemon crash) via a stats method action to /xml-rpc with (1) an empty Authorization header line, which triggers a crash in the ws_decodepassword function; or (2) a header line without a ':' character, which triggers a crash in the ws_getheaders function.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
