You failed to attach it, it is here:

Now, since you probably could not reproduce with FFmpeg or ffplay, why
do you think this belongs here?
I do not care about gstreamer but in the case of MPlayer:
1) it is MPlayer that incorrectly passes a NULL pointer.
2) it certainly is not exploitable because it is and invalid read and
into the NULL page in addition.
3) It probably should be said clearer, but you are using +lavf, the man
page says "Use a ’+’ before the name to force it, this will skip some
checks!". This was meant to imply that you will have to expect crashes.

Either way, without gdb backtrace or anything there is little we can do
about this anyway.
