waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-9935-w26g-xf2m ↗EUVD-2026-96309 ↗
description
Apache DataSketches C++ versions 2.0.0-incubating through 5.2.0 can read beyond supplied input while decoding malformed VarOpt union data. An attacker able to provide such serialized data to an application may cause a crash or disclose adjacent process memory.
mitigation
Upgrade apache/datasketches-cpp to version 5.3.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not deserialize VarOpt union data 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.
