Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-08-05 00:00 – Updated: 2025-05-30 19:47

Summary

zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g., see the nodejs/node reference).

Severity ?

9.8 (Critical)
