JetBrains PyCharm before 2019.2 was allocating a buffer of unknown size for one of the connection processes. In a very specific situation, it could lead to a remote invocation of an OOM error message because of Uncontrolled Memory Allocation.
The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor.
