It was discovered that the C++ implementation (which underlies the R, Python and Ruby implementations) of Apache Arrow has an uninitialized memory bug when building arrays with null values in some cases.

Apache Arrow left memory Array data uninitialized when reading RLE null data from parquet. Python, Ruby and R implementations. The uninitialized memory could potentially be shared if are transmitted over the wire (for instance with Flight) or persisted in the streaming IPC and file formats.
