Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Resource in the zlib_decomp function when processing a zlib stream that inflates to fewer bytes than the expected frame size. An attacker can access uninitialized heap memory contents by supplying a crafted zlib stream, which results in the copying of sensitive memory into the output frame.
