CVE-2024-14030 affects Sereal::Decoder for Perl versions 4.000 through 4.009_002. The issue is not described as a flaw in Sereal::Decoder’s own logic, but rather that affected releases embed a vulnerable version of the Zstandard (zstd) library. The bundled zstd code is vulnerable to CVE-2019-11922, a race condition in Zstandard one-pass compression functions prior to version 1.3.8. Under conditions where an output buffer smaller than the recommended size is used, the flaw can result in an out-of-bounds write / buffer overwrite. The advisory characterizes this as use of a vulnerable third-party component.
