XZ Utils: Buffer overflow in lzma_index_append()

Published: 4/2/2026 Last updated: 4/3/2026 Reserved: 3/30/2026

XZ Utils provide a general-purpose data-compression library plus command-line tools. Prior to version 5.8.3, if lzma_index_decoder() was used to decode an Index that contained no Records, the resulting lzma_index was left in a state where where a subsequent lzma_index_append() would allocate too little memory, and a buffer overflow would occur. This issue has been patched in version 5.8.3.
