CVE-2006-4335 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Array index error in the make_table function in unlzh.c in the LZH decompression component in gzip 1.3.5, when running on certain platforms, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GZIP archive that triggers an out-of-bounds write, aka a "stack modification vulnerability.". EPSS estimates a 5.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
