An issue was discovered in Ceph through 13.2.9. A POST request with an invalid tagging XML can crash the RGW process by triggering a NULL pointer exception.

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.
