Machine-written summary

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

SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 (crates.io package surrealdb) are affected. An unauthenticated remote attacker who can reach the WebSocket /rpc endpoint can send a deeply nested JSON payload that exhausts server memory and crashes the process. Upgrade to surrealdb 3.1.0 or later; as a workaround, restrict network access to the /rpc endpoint to trusted clients.
