3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27820)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause memory corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in zstream_buffer_ungets() function when parsing input within the Zlib::GzipReader. A remote attacker can provide crafted input that causes the buffer length to exceed its capacity to cause memory corruption.

User interaction is required.
