CWE-476  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 lrzip to version 0.631-1+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lrzip package and not the lrzip package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bufRead::get() function in libzpaq/libzpaq.h in liblrzip.so in lrzip 0.631 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted archive.
