A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in the AP4_HdlrAtom class in Bento4 version 1.5.0-617. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash in AP4_StdcFileByteStream::ReadPartial in System/StdC/Ap4StdCFileByteStream.cpp, which leads to remote denial of service.

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.
