Off-by-one error in the lzxd_decompress function in lzxd.c in libmspack before 0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer under-read and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive.

libmspack was updated to fix security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2014-9732: The cabd_extract function in cabd.c in     libmspack did not properly maintain decompression     callbacks in certain cases where an invalid file follows     a valid file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     application crash) via a crafted CAB archive     (bnc#934524).

  - CVE-2015-4467: The chmd_init_decomp function in chmd.c     in libmspack did not properly validate the reset     interval, which allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application     crash) via a crafted CHM file (bnc#934525).

  - CVE-2015-4468: Multiple integer overflows in the     search_chunk function in chmd.c in libmspack allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer     over-read and application crash) via a crafted CHM file     (bnc#934526).

  - CVE-2015-4469: The chmd_read_headers function in chmd.c     in libmspack did not validate name lengths, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted     CHM file (bnc#934526).

  - CVE-2015-4470: Off-by-one error in the inflate function     in mszipd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and     application crash) via a crafted CAB archive     (bnc#934527).

  - CVE-2015-4471: Off-by-one error in the lzxd_decompress     function in lzxd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (buffer under-read and     application crash) via a crafted CAB archive     (bnc#934528).

  - CVE-2015-4472: Off-by-one error in the READ_ENCINT macro     in chmd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted CHM file     (bnc#934529).
