A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in SExpressionWasmBuilder::makeBlock in wasm/wasm-s-parser.c in Binaryen 1.38.26. A crafted wasm input can cause a segmentation fault, leading to denial-of-service, as demonstrated by wasm-as.
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.
