CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 libmspack to version 0.4-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the qtmd_decompress function in libmspack 0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a crafted CAB file, which triggers an infinite loop.
