poc of null pointer dereference

When I run "pdftops -level3 -origpagesizes -form -opi -binary -expand -duplex null3.pdf 1.ps", it crashes. Here is the output:

AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info.

We can see there is null pointer dereference vulnerability in function FoFiTrueType::getCFFBlock. Here is the snippet:

GBool FoFiTrueType::getCFFBlock(char **start, int *length) {
  int i;

  if (!openTypeCFF) {
    return gFalse;
  }
  i = seekTable("CFF ");
  if (!checkRegion(tables[i].offset, tables[i].len)) {
    return gFalse;
  }
  *start = (char *)file + tables[i].offset;
  *length = tables[i].len;
  return gTrue;
}

the problem is the variable tables.
The poc of pdf is attached.
