When reading a specially crafted 7Z archive, the construction of the list of codecs that decompress an entry can result in an infinite loop. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress sevenz package.

Weakness

The product performs an iteration or loop without sufficiently limiting the number of times that the loop is executed.
