Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in linkers_socket.cpp, used during initialization of distributed training. An attacker can exploit a race condition to connect to a node while it is waiting for a legitimate connection from a configured peer, and send an arbitrary rank value. This may trigger an exploitable crash on the affected node.
