Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection via the name-converter process for uid/gid mapping. An attacker can manipulate protocol messages by injecting newline characters into user or group names, causing the daemon to interpret attacker-controlled data as valid protocol input and potentially corrupting mapping logic.
