**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
UPX version 3.95
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, which may result in a SEGV or buffer overflow, and application crash, via a crafted UPX packed file. The `canUnpack` function in `p vmlinx.cpp` is affected.
**Recommendations**
For UPX version 3.95, consider avoiding the use of the `canUnpack` function in `p vmlinx.cpp` until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the handling of crafted UPX packed files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
