Notes


mdeslaur

Per xz-utils developers: "The lzma_index functions are rarely used by applications directly. In the few applications that do use these functions, the combination of function calls required to trigger this bug are unlikely to exist, because there typically is no reason to append Records to a decoded lzma_index. Thus, it’s likely that this bug cannot be triggered in any real-world application." Marking this as low priority
