TL;DR

Affected versions of this package may panic when processing input containing invalid UTF-8 characters. If an attacker can supply malformed or non-UTF-8 encoded data, the application may encounter an unexpected runtime panic, potentially leading to a denial of service. This occurs because the package does not properly validate or handle invalid UTF-8 sequences before attempting operations that assume valid encoding.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and overflow checking is enabled.

Background info
