description
Apache DataSketches C++ before 5.3.0 can overflow heap memory while deserializing HLL sketches. An attacker who can supply a crafted sketch to an application may cause a crash or potentially achieve further impact. Exposure requires the application to deserialize HLL sketch data from an untrusted source.
mitigation
Upgrade apache/datasketches-cpp to version 5.3.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not deserialize HLL sketches received from untrusted sources.
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
