It means you F-ed up. You're probably using a pointer which isn't initialized or something equally bad.

To be specific: It means you're accessing memory you shouldn't be accessing. Commonly, as I have stated above, you're probably dereferencing an uninitialized pointer. Or, you're trying to copy memory to a pointer which doesn't have anything allocated for it.
