NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream p7zip package and not the p7zip package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Incorrect initialization logic of RAR decoder objects in 7-Zip 18.03 and before can lead to usage of uninitialized memory, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted RAR archive.
