Machine-written summary

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

Affected versions of risc0-zkvm-platform before 2.1.0, risc0-zkos-v1compat before 2.1.0, risc0-aggregation before 0.9, and risc0-zkvm before 2.3.2 or from 3.0.0 to before 3.0.3 contain a memory safety flaw in sys_read. A malicious host can send a crafted response that writes to an arbitrary guest memory location, allowing arbitrary code execution inside the guest. Upgrade risc0-zkvm to 2.3.2 or 3.0.3, risc0-zkvm-platform to 2.1.0 or later, and risc0-aggregation to 0.9, then rebuild guests and update their image IDs.
