Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libmspack versions prior to 0.5

Description The issue is related to multiple integer overflows in the search chunk function in chmd.c. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a buffer over-read and application crash, via a crafted CHM file.

Recommendations For libmspack versions prior to 0.5, update to version 0.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of crafted CHM files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
