NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmobi package and not the libmobi package as distributed by Debian.

The mobi_decompress_lz77 function in compression.c in Libmobi 0.3 allows remote attackers to cause remote code execution (heap-based buffer overflow) via a crafted mobi file.
