Summary
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.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
