CVE-2010-2800
CVSS v2.0
4.3
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
cabextract versions prior to 1.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically an infinite loop, through a manipulated MSZIP file in a .cab file. This can occur during either a test or extract action and is related to the libmspack library.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.3, update to version 1.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the MS-ZIP decompressor in cabextract until a patch is available. Avoid using the MS-ZIP decompressor with untrusted .cab files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Fix
DoS
