Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation via the crc32_big() function, which clones from zlib but did not receive the security patch. An attacker can cause unintended behavior or potentially compromise data integrity by exploiting improper handling of CRC32 calculations when the system zlib is not used.
