CVE-2010-0001

gzip < 1.4 - Denial of Service via LZW Compression Array Index Error

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Integer underflow in the unlzw function in unlzw.c in gzip before 1.4 on 64-bit platforms, as used in ncompress and probably others, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive that uses LZW compression, leading to an array index error.
