cabextract before 1.6 does not properly check for leading slashes when extracting files, which allows remote attackers to conduct absolute directory traversal attacks via a malformed UTF-8 character that is changed to a UTF-8 encoded slash.
In mspack/cab.h in libmspack before 0.8alpha and cabextract before 1.8, the CAB block input buffer is one byte too small for the maximal Quantum block, leading to an out-of-bounds write.
Integer overflow in the qtmd_decompress function in libmspack 0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a crafted CAB file, which triggers an infinite loop.
Integer signedness error in the Quantum decompressor in cabextract before 1.3, when archive test mode is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Quantum archive in a .cab file, r...
The MS-ZIP decompressor in cabextract before 1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed MSZIP archive in a .cab file during a (1) test or (2) extract action, related to the libmspack library.
Directory traversal vulnerability in cabextract before 1.1 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a cabinet file containing .. (dot dot) sequences in a filename.
