Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Affected versions of at.yawk.lz4:lz4-java are below 1.10.1, and the Maven org.lz4:lz4-java, org.lz4:lz4-pure-java and net.jpountz.lz4:lz4 packages at 1.8.1 and earlier have no fixed version listed. A remote attacker who supplies crafted compressed input can make the Java-based decompressors read previously stored contents of a reused output buffer, which may disclose sensitive data. Upgrade at.yawk.lz4:lz4-java to 1.10.1; if that is not possible, zero the output buffer before each decompression call.
