The attach-time validator rdx_validate_header checks the header scalars and region layout against the file size, but does not validate the node records it then trusts. rdx_find_locked indexes nodes[cur].children[k] and reads each node's label_off and label_len raw from the mmap'd segment, none bounded against the node count or the arena size.
A local peer that can write the backing file can leave the header valid while poisoning the node records, so a lookup dereferences an out-of-bounds node or arena index, reading adjacent memory or crashing the process.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Solution
Upgrade to Data::RadixTree::Shared 0.02 or later, which bounds the node and arena indices before dereferencing them.
Workaround
For deployments that cannot upgrade to 0.02, place the backing file in a directory writable only by the owning user, so a local peer cannot tamper with the node records the lookup path traverses.
