Title
Out-of-memory during deserialization with crafted inputs
Summary
gnark is a fast zk-SNARK library that offers a high-level API to design circuits. In gnark 0.11.0 and earlier, deserialization of Groth16 verification keys allocate excessive memory, consuming a lot of resources and triggering a crash with the error fatal error: runtime: out of memory.
