Fix
8.2.0
Upgrade zstd-safe to this version or later

Description

InBuffer's fields are public, so safe code can set pos past the end of src. The position was passed to the C library unchecked, and ZSTD_seekable_compressStream, unlike the other streaming functions, does not validate it: it read past the end of the input slice, by up to the frame size, and compressed that memory into the output.

The flaw was corrected by checking the position before every call into the C library.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
