It means that a program has tried to address memory that does not belong
to it.
It is likely to occur if the program uses an uninitialised pointer. There
can be many causes, all of which come down to programmer error.
You solve it first by using the debugger to find the pointer which is
at fault and second by carefully writing your programs so that they
never try to access invalid pointers.
