+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 23.0.1 release.
+It includes **a security fix for the C++ IPC file reader**, so be sure to
+read the relevant details below to see if you are affected.
+
+Apart from that, 23.0.1 is mostly a bugfix release that includes [**28 resolved issues**][1]
+on [**29 distinct commits**][2] from [**12 distinct contributors**][2].
+
+See the [Install Page](https://arrow.apache.org/install/) to
+learn how to get the libraries for your platform.
+
+The release notes below are not exhaustive and only expose selected highlights
+of the release. Many other bugfixes and improvements have been made: we refer
+you to the [complete changelog][3].
+
+## C++ notes
+
+* Fix possible OOB write in buffered IO ([GH-48311](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48311)).
+
+### IPC
+
+#### CVE-2026-25087: Use After Free vulnerability in IPC file reader
+
+Fix a security issue can be triggered when reading an Arrow IPC file (but *not*
+an IPC stream) with pre-buffering enabled, if the IPC file contains data with
+variadic buffers (such as Binary View and String View data).
+
+Pre-buffering is disabled by default, so your code is vulnerable only if it
+enables it explicitly by calling `RecordBatchFileReader::PreBufferMetadata`.
+Affected Arrow C++ versions are 15.0.0 through 23.0.0. The fix integrated
+in 23.0.1 can also be separately viewed at
+[GH-48925](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/48925).
+
+See our [separate announcement](https://lists.apache.org/thread/mpm4ld1qony30tchfpjtk5b11tcyvmwh)
+for further detail.
+
+#### Other fixes
+
+* Avoid memory blowup with excessive variadic buffer count in IPC ([GH-48900](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48900)).
+
+### Gandiva
+
+* Fix passing CPU attributes to LLVM ([GH-48160](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48160)).
+* Detect overflow in `repeat()` ([GH-49159](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49159)).
+
+### Parquet
+
+* Avoid re-serializing footer for signature verification ([GH-48858](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48858)).
+
+## Python notes
+
+* Added missing NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt to wheels ([GH-48983](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48983)).
+* Some fixes for compatibility with newer Cython versions like ([GH-48965](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48965)),
+  ([GH-49156](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49156)) and ([GH-49138](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49138)).
+
+## Ruby notes
+
+* Fix a bug where ``Arrow::ExecutePlan`` nodes may be Garbage Collected ([GH-48880](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48880)).
+
+## R notes
+
+* Bump C++20 for R build infrastructure ([GH-48817](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48817))
+  and fix some C++ 20 related compilation issues ([GH-48973](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48973)).
