NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libplist package and not the libplist package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the plist_from_bin function in bplist.c in libimobiledevice/libplist before 2017-04-19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted plist file.
