**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** zutils versions prior to 1.8-pre2 **Description** The issue is related to a Buffer Overflow in the zcat function, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. This can be exploited when a victim opens a crafted compressed file. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 1.8-pre2, update to version 1.8-pre2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of zcat with untrusted compressed files until the update is applied.
