Starting a multithreaded frame\n(`zstdmt` feature) replaces those parameters with the workers' without\nresizing the context's own tables, so after an abandoned single-threaded\nframe, the copy wrote up to 512 KiB past a heap allocation, or read past\none. This became reachable with the bundled zstd 1.5.6.\n\nThe flaw was corrected by refusing `try_clone` (and the unsafe\n`compress_block`) once `NbWorkers` was set on the context.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"zstd-safe","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/zstd-safe"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"4.1.4"},{"fixed":"8.2.0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"affected_functions":null,"affects":{"arch":[],"functions":["zstd_safe::CCtx::try_clone"],"os":[]}},"database_specific":{"categories":["memory-corruption"],"cvss":null,"informational":"unsound","source":"https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db/blob/osv/crates/RUSTSEC-2026-0402.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://crates.io/crates/zstd-safe"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0402.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/gyscos/zstd-rs/commit/682b8b2967cf4aba5cfe2d940d1e381a3e23211a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/gyscos/zstd-rs/pull/384"}],"database_specific":{"license":"CC0-1.0"}}
