Original NVD Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the _zip_readcdir function in zip_open.c in libzip 0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a zip archive with the number of directories set to 0, related to an "incorrect loop construct."
