Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Versions of the zstd crate from 0.4.22 up to but not including 0.8.0 are affected. When `zstd::stream::write::Decoder` receives a corrupt legacy (zstd v0.4 to v0.7) frame, which is enabled by default, decompression fails but the output buffer is still passed to the wrapped writer, exposing up to 32 KiB of stale heap memory. Whether this reaches an attacker depends on where the application sends the output. Upgrade to zstd 0.8.0 or later.
