As soon as you use ctypes, you sign up for all the security vulnerabilities, including denial of service, buffer overrun, use-after-free, etc. that plain old C programs are subject to. In this case, it's just a NULL pointer dereference (read: segfault in most normal cases), but in general, if you don't use ctypes with the same discipline as you would actual C code (at best it provides a little in the way of automatic memory management), you're subject to all the same problems.
