Can a handled exception on Windows call terminate()?

0

I have a C++ application deployed on a Windows server VM in Azure.

It's been running fine for a few days, and then WER took a crash dump. The faulting thread had this stack trace:

(I replaced the real module name with MyModule!)

Questions:

  1. I'm guessing (by the function names in the stack trace, e.g. RtlpExecuteHandlerForException) that this flow if for handled exceptions. Is that correct? if yes, why is the application crashing nevertheless?

  2. The __imp_?id@?$codecvt@DDU_Mbstatet@@@std@@2V0locale@2@A at the bottom of the stack looks mangled. I've tried to de-mangle it online and got __imp_public: static class std::locale::id std::codecvt<char,char,struct _Mbstatet>::id. Does that make sense? it looks like a reference to a field, not a function

  3. I've tried running !analyze -v and it gives:

EXCEPTION_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000409 - The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application.

What can be the cause of such exception? Can you please provide a short snippet which triggers such an exception in Windows?)
