1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU15955

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14503

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read within lha_read_data_none() in archive_read_support_format_lha.c when extracting a specially crafted lha archive. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read, related to lha_crc16 and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
