CVE-2025-47815Public exploit

Process memory corruption via ZIP member decompression

Published May 10, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2025

Heap-based buffer overflow in GNU PSPP through 2.0.1 allows local users to corrupt process memory by processing a crafted ZIP member. The zip_member_read_all path calls inflate_read in zip-reader.c, where decompressed input overruns a heap buffer while the member is read. Reaching the flaw requires local processing of attacker-controlled input; public evidence shows a proof of concept but does not establish code execution.
