description

zstd-jni multi-dictionary decompression can retain a native reference to a dictionary after it is closed. An attacker able to influence this dictionary lifecycle may trigger native memory corruption and terminate the JVM. The issue requires multi-dictionary mode and a previously registered dictionary to be closed while still referenced.

mitigation

Upgrade com.github.luben:zstd-jni to version 1.5.7-25 or later. Until upgraded, do not enable multi-dictionary decompression or close dictionaries that may remain registered with a decompression context.

fixed in 1.5.7-25
