A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in FFmpeg’s Firequalizer filter (libavfilter/affirequalizer.c) due to a missing check on the return value of avmallocarray() in the configinput() function. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a victim into processing a crafted media file with the Firequalizer filter enabled, causing the application to dereference a NULL pointer and crash, leading to denial of service.
