CVE-2015-4469  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable libmspack to version 0.4-3 or higher.

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 chmd_read_headers function in chmd.c in libmspack before 0.5 does not validate name lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted CHM file.
