Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
ZZIPlib versions prior to 0.13.70
Description:
The issue is related to a memory leak in the ` zzip parse root directory` function, which can lead to a denial of service attack. This is caused by a resource not being released after its valid lifetime has expired. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations:
For ZZIPlib versions prior to 0.13.70, update to version 0.13.70 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ` zzip parse root directory` function in zip.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
