Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the RecordBatchFileReader::PreBufferMetadata API call . An attacker can cause memory corruption or application crashes by providing a specially crafted IPC file with variadic buffers and exploiting multi-threaded IO timing.
