## Description

The qtm\_decompress function in libclamav/mspack.c in ClamAV before 0.96
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and
application crash) via a crafted CAB archive that uses the Quantum (aka .Q)
compression format. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third
party information.
