NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libzip-devel package and not the libzip-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The SOAP HTTP client guards its response buffer growth with a check that relies on signed integer overflow, which is undefined behaviour and is not guaranteed to trigger. When the check is optimised away, a malicious SOAP server can make the client allocate a buffer far smaller than the data it then writes into it, producing a heap buffer overflow.
