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

Description The issue is caused by an off-by-one error in the READ ENCINT macro in chmd.c, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted CHM file.
