How to fix?

Upgrade apache/avro to version 0.14.0 or higher.

Overview

apache/avro is a library for working with Apache Avro in Rust language.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the possibility for a Reader to consume memory beyond the allowed constraints.

Note:

The Avro-rs package has migrated to the Apache Avro package, it is recommended to use Apache Avro instead, as it addresses this issue.
