Descriptions

The NEEDBITS macro in the inflate_dynamic function in inflate.c for unzip can be invoked using invalid buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors that trigger a free of uninitialized or previously-freed data.

La macro NEEDBITS en la función inflate_dynamic en el archivo inflate.c para unzip puede ser invocada usando búferes no válidos, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de vectores desconocidos que activan una liberación de datos no inicializados o previamente liberados.
