Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted or malformed .las files with affected libLAS versions.
Description
libLAS versions up to 1.8.1 have a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the point record reader. This occurs because the schema byte size is truncated to 16 bits when sizing the point buffer, allowing crafted .las files with oversized LASSchema variable length records to cause memory corruption and crashes in tools like lasinfo, las2las, or las2txt.
