Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Apache DataSketches C++. An application that deserializes a REQ sketch from an untrusted source can have heap memory corrupted by a crafted sketch, because the serialized compactor headers were not validated. This issue affects Apache DataSketches C++: from 3.0.0 through 5.3.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.3.1, which fixes the issue.
