QID 981036

QID 981036: Java (maven) Security Update for org.apache.commons:commons-compress (GHSA-hrmr-f5m6-m9pq)

When reading a specially crafted ZIP archive, the read method of Apache Commons Compress 1.7 to 1.17's ZipArchiveInputStream can fail to return the correct EOF indication after the end of the stream has been reached. When combined with a java.io.InputStreamReader this can lead to an infinite stream, which can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' zip package.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
