Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in RedisArrayAggregator. An attacker who sends a small RESP array header declaring a very large element count can force the aggregator to reserve a large ArrayList via the AggregateState constructor, before any child elements are sent, exhausting memory.
