Technical details

A null pointer dereference occurs in the check_media_profile function when processing an MP4 file with a missing decoderConfig structure. An attacker supplies a malformed MP4 file to trigger a segmentation fault, causing the application to crash. The fix adds a null check before dereferencing the decoderConfig pointer.
