Null Pointer Dereference Detection

Null Pointer Dereference Detection is a static vulnerability analysis technique that identifies instances in source code where a program attempts to access memory through a pointer that has not been validated for nullity, thereby enabling the prevention of runtime failures or security exploits arising from dereferencing null pointers.
