NVD Description

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

The cabd_read_string function in mspack/cabd.c in libmspack 0.5alpha, as used in ClamAV 0.99.2 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted CAB file.
