Descriptions
Integer overflow in the qtmd_decompress function in libmspack 0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a crafted CAB file, which triggers an infinite loop.
Desbordamiento de enteros en la función qtmd_decompress en libmspack 0.4 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (cuelgue) a través de un fichero CAB manipulado, lo que provoca un bucle infinito.
Libmspack, a library to provide compression and decompression of some file formats used by Microsoft, is embedded in cabextract. A specially crafted cab file can cause cabextract to hang forever. If cabextract is exposed to any remotely-controlled user input, this issue can cause a denial-of-service. A directory traversal issue in cabextract allows writing to locations outside of the current working directory, when extracting a crafted cab file that encodes the filenames in a certain manner.
