Summary

The fflate library up to version 0.8.2 is vulnerable to denial of service via an infinite loop in unzipSync(). A crafted ZIP archive with compressed_size=0xFFFFFFFF (ZIP64 sentinel) without the required ZIP64 extra field causes an infinite loop due to out-of-bounds reads.

Risk Assessment

The risk is potential blocking of applications using fflate for decompression, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

Upgrade fflate to version 0.8.3 or later. As a workaround, avoid decompressing untrusted ZIP archives.

Original NVD description (English source)

fflate through 0.8.2 is vulnerable to denial of service via an infinite loop in unzipSync(). A crafted ZIP archive with a central directory entry declaring compressed_size=0xFFFFFFFF (ZIP64 sentinel) but missing the required ZIP64 extra field tag 0x0001 causes z64e() to loop indefinitely due to out-of-bounds reads returning undefined, which coerces to 0, keeping the loop condition permanently true.
