NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream v2v-conversion-host-ansible package and not the v2v-conversion-host-ansible package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Rubyzip before 1.3.0, a crafted ZIP file can bypass application checks on ZIP entry sizes because data about the uncompressed size can be spoofed. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption).
