SEGV on unknown address due to COLLADABUURI.cpp:225

[Nalen98]

A crafted input leads to crash (an invalid memory address dereference) at std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits... in libstdc++.so.6 provided by opencolladavalidator v1.6.68 (the latest version, checked on Ubuntu/Debian packages and current master).
Seems the line mUriString = copyFrom_.mUriString; in COLLADABUURI.cpp:225 causes the segmentation fault.
