Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Array Index in the sender-side block matching process. An attacker can cause memory access before the start of an allocated buffer by sending a crafted checksum block with a length of zero, resulting in an out-of-bounds read of file data buffer memory on the sender side.
