Description Christopher Fore 2024-04-29 16:33:19 UTC 
CVE-2024-27322:

Deserialization of untrusted data can occur in the R statistical programming language, on any version starting at 1.4.0 up to and not including 4.4.0, enabling a maliciously crafted RDS (R Data Serialization) formatted file or R package to run arbitrary code on an end user’s system when interacted with. 



This above is fixed in 4.4.0.
