Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Guava versions from 4.0 up to but not including 33.7.2 are affected. Deserializing a crafted Java serialized stream containing CompactHashMap, CompactHashSet, CompactLinkedHashMap, CompactLinkedHashSet or MapMakerInternalMap can make the JVM allocate very large arrays from a declared size, causing an OutOfMemoryError and a crash. An attacker who can supply serialized data to an application's ObjectInputStream.readObject() call can trigger this with a small payload. Upgrade to Guava 33.7.2, which contains the fix. The source gives few details on earlier individual releases.
