At the most basic level, an invalid pointer can be input that crashes the device, but with more knowledge of the device’s memory layout, further exploitation is possible.

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.
