Zserio is a framework for serializing structured data with a compact and efficient way with low overhead. Prior to 2.18.1, a crafted payload as small as 4-5 bytes can force memory allocations of up to 16 GB, crashing any process with an OOM error (Denial of Service). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.18.1.
