Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Bento4 version 1.5.0-617

Description The issue is related to missing NULL checks in the AP4 AtomFactory::CreateAtomFromStream function, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a segmentation fault and application crash in the AP4 Atom::SetType function.
