  - Legacy C++ Facebook Thrift servers (using cpp instead of cpp2) would not error upon receiving messages
    with containers of fields of unknown type. As a result, malicious clients could send short messages which
    would take a long time for the server to parse, potentially leading to denial of service. This issue
    affects Facebook Thrift prior to v2019.05.06.00. (CVE-2019-3565)
