(JWSB - 2021/09/13)
+ - Fixed an invalid read and memory leak when parsing corrupt file space
+ info messages
+
+ When the corrupt file from CVE-2020-10810 was parsed by the library,
+ the code that imports the version 0 file space info object header
+ message to the version 1 struct could read past the buffer read from
+ the disk, causing an invalid memory read. Not catching this error would
+ cause downstream errors that eventually resulted in a previously
+ allocated buffer to be unfreed when the library shut down. In builds
+ where the free lists are in use, this could result in an infinite loop
+ and SIGABRT when the library shuts down.
+
+ We now track the buffer size and raise an error on attempts to read
+ past the end of it.
