An issue was discovered in cpp-peglib through v0.1.12. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the peg::AstOptimizer::optimize() located in peglib.h. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service.
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.
