Machine-written summary

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

Open Babel versions before 3.2.0 (the PyPI openbabel package is affected through 3.1.1) have an out-of-bounds read in the PQS parser's lowerit helper, which can read bytes before the input buffer when given a crafted PQS file. An attacker needs a victim to open a malicious PQS file with obabel, the OBConversion API, or a language binding, and the flaw can leak memory contents or cause a crash. Upgrade to openbabel 3.2.0 or later.
