Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Reachable Assertion in the aggregation command processing. An attacker can cause the server process to terminate unexpectedly by submitting a specially crafted aggregation command with a specific combination of options. This results in denial of service for all connected clients until the process is restarted. This is only exploitable if the attacker has authenticated read-only privileges.
