DescriptionCVE.org

yauzl (aka Yet Another Unzip Library) version 3.2.0 for Node.js contains an off-by-one error in the NTFS extended timestamp extra field parser within the getLastModDate() function. The while loop condition checks cursor < data.length + 4 instead of cursor + 4 <= data.length, allowing readUInt16LE() to read past the buffer boundary. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (process crash via ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE exception) by sending a crafted zip file with a malformed NTFS extra field. This affects any Node.js application that processes zip file uploads and calls entry.getLastModDate() on parsed entries. Fixed in version 3.2.1.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in yauzl 3.2.0 (Node.js zip parsing library) allows remote attackers to crash applications by submitting malformed zip files with specially crafted NTFS timestamp fields that trigger an out-of-bounds buffer read. The vulnerability affects any Node.js application that processes untrusted zip uploads and extracts file modification dates. No patch is currently available.
