No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7?

GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 affects the following packages: ruzstd (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7?

Update ruzstd to 0.7.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ruzstd. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-x3f4-45xf-rjm7 was published on December 2, 2024 and was last updated on February 4, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Affected versions of ruzstd miscalculate the length of the allocated and init section of its internal RingBuffer, leading to uninitialized or out-of-bounds reads in copy_bytes_overshooting of up to 15 bytes.

This may result in up to 15 bytes of memory contents being written into the decoded data when decompressing a crafted archive. This may occur multiple times per archive.
