CVE-2019-17543

9.2.0

Description

According to NIST, CVE-2019-17543 affects versions of LZ4 before 1.9.2.

However, lz4-java, which has LZ4 as a JNI dependency, has it's own versioning, and version 1.8.0 of lz4-java, which is getting flagged here, already includes LZ4 version 1.9.3, which no longer has that vulnerability.
