rkyvTL;DR
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to a null pointer dereference caused by improper handling of null values returned by the allocator in the SharedPointer::alloc process. An attacker can trigger an out-of-memory condition during shared pointer allocation, leading to dereferencing a null pointer through safe deserialization APIs and resulting in a crash or potentially arbitrary code execution.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
