CVE-2018-6869
In ZZIPlib 0.13.68, there is an uncontrolled memory allocation and a crash in the __zzip_parse_root_directory function of zzip/zip.c.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.80%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In ZZIPlib 0.13.68, there is an uncontrolled memory allocation and a crash in the __zzip_parse_root_directory function of zzip/zip.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted zip file.
