Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds in the find_secret_in_page function due to improper handling of the number of secrets stored per page. An attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read by accessing a secret index that exceeds the per-page limit, potentially leading to information disclosure or system instability.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
