MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.33%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Long Range Zip (aka lrzip) 0.631, there is an infinite loop and application hang in the get_fileinfo function (lrzip.c). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted lrz file.
