CVE-2026-111959: Apache Arrow Rust: Improper validation of RunEndEncoded arrays allows out of bounds reads

CVE-2026-111959 affects Apache Arrow Rust versions 33.0.0 through 60.0.0 and involves improper validation of RunEndEncoded arrays in the ArrayData interface, enabling out-of-bounds reads. The vulnerability is rated moderate severity and requires patching to versions 60.1.0 or later, or the corresponding patch releases for earlier branches (58.4.1, 59.3.2).

Why it matters: Developers and operators using Apache Arrow Rust in data processing pipelines face potential information disclosure or denial of service if they do not upgrade to patched versions.
