NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lrzip package and not the lrzip package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The bufRead::get() function in libzpaq/libzpaq.h in liblrzip.so in lrzip 0.631 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted archive.
