An issue was discovered in the av-data crate before 0.3.0 for Rust. A raw pointer is dereferenced, leading to a read of an arbitrary memory address, sometimes causing a segfault.

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.
