NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lzo2 package and not the lzo2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The lzo1x_decompress function in lzo1x_d.ch in LZO 2.08, as used in lrzip 0.631, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and application crash) via a crafted archive.
