Last modified

CVE-2010-0001 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer underflow in the unlzw function in unlzw.c in gzip before 1.4 on 64-bit platforms, as used in ncompress and probably others, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive that uses LZW compression, leading to an array index error.. EPSS estimates a 4.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
