Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound in the archive_write_zip_header function when ZIP encryption is enabled and the entry file size is close to INT64_MAX. An attacker can cause undefined behavior, such as incorrect Zip64 extension decisions or a crash, by crafting a ZIP archive with encryption enabled and a file size near the maximum 64-bit integer value. This is only exploitable if ZIP encryption is enabled and the file size is close to INT64_MAX.
