Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in the heap access on aarch64 Cranelift. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to host system memory by exploiting a miscompilation bug, allowing arbitrary read and write operations outside the intended memory bounds. This is only exploitable if Spectre mitigations are disabled on aarch64 systems.
