Hi Steve, vendors,

   two security issues have been reported against cabextract:

1, Infinite loop in MS-ZIP and Quantum decoders (minor issue):

A deficiency has been reported in the way cabextract extracted certain
Cabinet (*.cab) files, using the MZ-ZIP and Quantum decompressors.  If a
local user was tricked into opening a specially-crafted *.cab file, it
could lead to infinite loop.


CVE-2010-2800

2, Integer wrap-around (crash) by processing certain *.cab files in
test archive mode

An integer wrap-around flaw has been reported in the way cabextract
processed certain Cabinet (*.cab) archive files. If a local user was
tricked into opening a specially-crafted *.cab archive in test archive
mode, it could lead to cabextract executable crash.


CVE-2010-2801


Thanks.
