Summary

Use-after-free with `CParameter::StableInBuffer`

Details

With CParameter::StableInBuffer(true) (experimental feature), the C library keeps a pointer to the input of one streaming call and reads from it in later calls, including flush_stream and end_stream, which take no input. An InBuffer only borrows its slice for one call, so safe code could free it in between, and freed memory was compressed into the frame. The C library behaves this way since zstd 1.5.4, whether bundled or linked from the system.

The flaw was corrected by refusing to enable the parameter.
