About this tag
CVE 2021 44964 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Lua interpreter's garbage collector and finalizer code, affecting Lua versions 5.4.0 through 5.4.3. On WindowsForum.com, discussions focus on Microsoft's advisory that Azure Linux includes the affected open-source library and is potentially impacted. The tag covers the technical details of the flaw, its scope across Microsoft products, and the distinction between product-specific attestations versus broader applicability. Topics include Lua runtime security, vulnerability analysis, and the implications for cloud and enterprise environments using Lua.
