A flaw in the libapreq2 v2.07 to v2.13 multipart parser can deference a null pointer leading to a process crash. A remote attacker could send a request causing a process crash which could lead to a denial of service attack.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
