> Classes in o.a.a.core.data (and potentially elsewhere) that support
> construction from a Thrift object and/or population from a {{DataInput}} (via
> a {{readFields()}} method) often lack data validity checks that the classes'
> constructors enforce. The missing checks make it possible for an attacker to
> create invalid objects by manipulating the bytes being read. The situation is
> analogous to the need to check objects deserialized from their Java
> serialized form within the {{readObject()}} method.
