Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Versions 3.0.0 up to 7.4.0 (exclusive) and 8.0.0 up to 8.2.0 (exclusive) of zstd-safe are affected. In these versions, the init_using_cdict and init_using_ddict functions, which are experimental and deprecated, did not tie the lifetime of the context to the dictionary, so a dictionary could be dropped while the context still referenced it, causing a use-after-free. The source gives few details on the attacker's position or what they can achieve. Upgrade to zstd-safe 7.4.0 or 8.2.0.
