NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lrzsz package and not the lrzsz package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

lrzsz before version 0.12.21~rc can leak information to the receiving side due to an incorrect length check in the function zsdata that causes a size_t to wrap around.
