>When received by the sensor and loaded into the Content Interpreter, problematic content in Channel File 291 resulted in an out-of-bounds memory read triggering an exception.

Wasn't 'Channel File 291' a garbage file filled with null pointers? Meaning it's problematic content in the same way as filling your parachute bag with ice cream and screws is problematic.

They specifically denied that null bytes were the issue in an earlier update. https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/falcon-update-for-windows-h...
Null pointers, not a null array
I'm not sure what you're saying, but note that a file fundamentally cannot contain a null pointer, a file can just contain various bytes.
