NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libzstd package and not the libzstd package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A race condition in the one-pass compression functions of Zstandard prior to version 1.3.8 could allow an attacker to write bytes out of bounds if an output buffer smaller than the recommended size was used.
