NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-github-nwaples-rardecode package and not the golang-github-nwaples-rardecode package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

github.com/nwaples/rardecode versions <=2.1.1 fail to restrict the dictionary size when reading large RAR dictionary sizes, which allows an attacker to provide a specially crafted RAR file and cause Denial of Service via an Out Of Memory Crash.
