Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime due to improper cleanup of pooled direct-memory buffers in the RedisArrayAggregator function. An attacker can exhaust the JVM-wide direct-memory pool by repeatedly opening and closing pipeline connections before a RESP array aggregate completes, leading to allocation failures across all channels.
