Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types in the builder process when handling NUL-embedded document keys. An attacker can cause the application to read memory outside the intended buffer and terminate the calling process by supplying an extremely large, non-terminated field name in a specific form. This is only exploitable if the calling application passes the oversized name in this specific form.
