About Aerospike
Aerospike shipped a coordinated CVE train across four release branches in one afternoon
On 16 July Aerospike published seven releases in under two hours, spanning the 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches, all carrying the same two waves of security fixes. The first wave — path traversal in UDF filename handling, an integer overflow in the msgpack size calculator, and a heap buffer overflow from missing op-size validation in batch writes — came with three numbered security bulletins. The second wave covered an out-of-bounds read in msgpack integer comparison, a memory leak on malformed proxy requests, and filter expressions bypassing validation on list and map values.
