Technical details

A NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) occurs in MP4File::GenerateTracks() in src/mp4file.cpp when parsing a malformed trak/mdia/hdlr structure that leaves the handler type unset. The function passes the NULL handler-type pointer directly to strcmp() without validation, causing undefined behavior and process termination. The attack vector is network-based, requiring the victim to open or process a crafted MP4 file.
