Service interruption via locale-triggered null dereference
Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Null pointer dereference in Time4J Base 5.9.3 allows remote attackers to interrupt a dependent service via crafted locale input. The claim identifies FormatUtils.useDefaultWeekmodel(Locale) as the locus, but published sources do not identify the exact null value or dereference operation. The CVE is disputed because multiple third parties found insufficient evidence that the reported exception constitutes a security vulnerability.
