Summary

### Impact Dgl implements rpc server (start_server() in rpc_server.py) for supporting the RPC communications among different remote users over networks. It relies on pickle serialize and deserialize to pack and unpack network messages. The is a known risk in pickle deserialization functionality that can be used for remote code execution.

### Patches TBD.

### Workarounds When running DGL distributed training and inference (DistDGL) make sure you do not assign public IPs to any instance in the cluster.
