The bufRead::get() function in libzpaq/libzpaq.h in liblrzip.so in lrzip 0.631 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted archive.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
