A NULL Pointer Dereference exists in VideoLAN x265, as used in libbpg 0.9.7 and other products, because the CUData::initialize function in common/cudata.cpp mishandles memory-allocation failure.
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.
