Process crash via constructor assertion during unwinding
Published Jun 21, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2025
NULL pointer dereference in POCO C++ Libraries 1.14.0 through 1.14.1 allows local users to crash a process via crafted multipart input. MultipartStreamBuf checks an attacker-controlled boundary with an assertion in its constructor; assertion failure unwinds a partially constructed MultipartInputStream and faults in ios_base destruction. Low-privileged local access to a consuming application's multipart parser is required, and the demonstrated consequence is process termination.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
