Descriptions

In mspack/cab.h in libmspack before 0.8alpha and cabextract before 1.8, the CAB block input buffer is one byte too small for the maximal Quantum block, leading to an out-of-bounds write.

En mspack/cab.h en libmspack en versiones anteriores a la 0.8alpha y cabextract en versiones anteriores a la 1.8, el búfer de entrada de bloques CAB es un byte más pequeño para el bloque Quantum máximo, lo que conduce a una escritura fuera de límites.
