Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Versions of org.iq80.snappy:snappy before 0.5 contain an out-of-bounds read when uncompressing certain data, because the library uses sun.misc.Unsafe without bounds checks. An attacker who can supply data for decompression can crash the JVM, causing a denial of service. Upgrade to version 0.5; the source also suggests migrating long term to airlift aircompressor (version 0.27 or newer).
