Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Resource in the SquashFS archive handler due to uninitialized memory in the _blockToNode array. An attacker can cause denial of service or potentially disclose heap information by providing a crafted SquashFS image that manipulates the RootInode superblock field to trigger out-of-bounds reads during directory parsing. This is only exploitable if the SquashFS handler is enabled and a malicious archive is opened.
