What is CVE-2020-13949?

From version 0.9.3 to 0.13.0 of Apache Thrift, a vulnerability exists that allows malicious remote procedure call (RPC) clients to send short messages that provoke excessive memory allocation. This scenario can potentially lead to a denial of service (DoS), where legitimate users are unable to access services due to resource exhaustion. It is critical to upgrade to a patched version to mitigate these risks.
