CVE-2020-22916

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions XZ version 5.2.5

Description An issue in XZ allows attackers to cause a denial of service via decompression of a crafted file. The vendor disputes the claims of "endless output" and "denial of service" because decompression of a 17,486 bytes file always results in 114,881,179 bytes, which is often a reasonable size increase.

Recommendations For XZ version 5.2.5, update to version 5.2.9 to fix the security issue.
