  - cmark-gfm is GitHub's extended version of the C reference implementation of CommonMark. Prior to versions
    0.29.0.gfm.3 and 0.28.3.gfm.21, an integer overflow in cmark-gfm's table row parsing
    `table.c:row_from_string` may lead to heap memory corruption when parsing tables who's marker rows contain
    more than UINT16_MAX columns. The impact of this heap corruption ranges from Information Leak to Arbitrary
    Code Execution depending on how and where `cmark-gfm` is used. If `cmark-gfm` is used for rendering remote
    user controlled markdown, this vulnerability may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in applications
    employing affected versions of the `cmark-gfm` library. This vulnerability has been patched in the
    following cmark-gfm versions 0.29.0.gfm.3 and 0.28.3.gfm.21. A workaround is available. The vulnerability
    exists in the table markdown extensions of cmark-gfm. Disabling the table extension will prevent this
    vulnerability from being triggered. (CVE-2022-24724)
