The OUTPUT typemaps call av_extend( av, len-1 ). On an empty list, this undeflows, and av_extend will allocate an array with 2^32 slots, leading to memory exhaustion.
Note that a similar issue was fixed in ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector version 1.05.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
