NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py7zr package and not the py7zr package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
py7zr is a Python-based library and utility to support 7zip archive compression, decompression, encryption and decryption. Prior to 1.1.3, py7zr's Worker.decompress() extracted archive entries without tracking total decompressed size, allowing a crafted .7z file such as a 15.6 KB archive that expands to 100 MB to exhaust disk or memory before extraction completes. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.3.
