Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the StructTreeRoot class due to the use of raw pointers to elements of a std::vector, which can result in dangling pointers when the vector is resized. An attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by triggering a vector resize that invalidates stored pointers.
