Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
NanaZip is the 7-Zip derivative intended for the modern Windows experience. From version 3.0.1000.0 to before version 6.0.1698.0, a heap out-of-bounds read exists in the Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image parser in NanaZip (via the upstream 7-Zip AvbHandler). An unsigned integer underflow in a bounds check allows an attacker-controlled value_num_bytes field to pass validation, causing AddNameToString to read up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64 KiB heap buffer. This causes a deterministic crash (denial of service) when opening a crafted .avb or .img file. This issue has been patched in stable version 6.0.1698.0 and preview version 6.5.1742.0.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in NanaZip versions 3.0.1000.0 through before 6.0.1698.0 in the AVB vbmeta image parser. An unsigned integer underflow in a bounds check allows a crafted value_num_bytes field in .avb or .img files to bypass validation, causing AddNameToString to read up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64 KiB heap buffer, resulting in deterministic denial of service.

MitigationUpdate NanaZip to version 6.0.1698.0 (stable) or 6.5.1742.0 (preview) to patch the integer underflow vulnerability in the AVB parser.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify NanaZip is installed
    Check for NanaZip in installed programs list (Windows Settings > Apps & features, or via PowerShell: Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like '*NanaZip*'})
    Affected if NanaZip is present on the system
  2. Determine installed NanaZip version
    Right-click a NanaZip file in Explorer, select Properties, and check the Version tab; or use PowerShell: (Get-Item 'C:\Program Files\NanaZip\NanaZip.exe').VersionInfo.FileVersion
    Affected if Version is 3.0.1000.0 or higher but lower than 6.0.1698.0
  3. Check for recent AVB file processing activity
    Review recent file history or logs for opening .avb or .img files using NanaZip (NanaZip stores recent files; check File menu > Recent)
    Affected if User has recently opened .avb or .img files in NanaZip
  4. Confirm AVB vbmeta parser is accessible
    Attempt to open any .avb or .img file in NanaZip to verify the AVB parsing functionality is present and functional
    Affected if The AVB parser feature exists and can process .avb or .img files

User is affected if NanaZip version is between 3.0.1000.0 and 6.0.1698.0 (exclusive) and they open or have opened a crafted .avb or .img file using the built-in AVB vbmeta parser.
