Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the sqfs_search_dir() function. res needs to be large enough to store both strings rem and target, plus the path separator and the terminator. Currently the space for the path separator is not accounted, so the heap is corrupted by one byte.
