ncmpc through 0.29 is prone to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. If a user uses the chat screen and another client sends a long chat message, a crash and denial of service could occur.
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.
