XMP Toolkit version 2020.1 (and earlier) is affected by a null pointer dereference vulnerability that could result in leaking data from certain memory locations and causing a local denial of service in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the victim will need to open a specially crafted MXF file.

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.
