Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the SquashFS ReadBlock() function. An attacker can cause disclosure of heap memory contents by providing a specially crafted SquashFS archive with a manipulated node.Offset value, which bypasses fragment bounds checks and results in out-of-bounds memory being read into the extracted file. This is only exploitable if the application is built for a 32-bit environment where size_t is 32 bits.
