How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable lz4 to version 0.0~r119-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lz4 package and not the lz4 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the LZ4 algorithm implementation, as used in Yann Collet LZ4 before r118 and in the lz4_uncompress function in lib/lz4/lz4_decompress.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2, on 32-bit platforms might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Literal Run that would be improperly handled by programs not complying with an API limitation, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-4715.
