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). A 32-bit unsigned integer overflow in the bounds check pos + ht.salt_len > descSize allows an attacker-controlled salt_len field to bypass validation, causing CByteBuffer::CopyFrom to memcpy up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64. 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

NanaZip versions 3.0.1000.0 through 6.0.1698.0 contain a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image parser. A 32-bit unsigned integer overflow in the bounds check `pos + ht.salt_len > descSize` allows an attacker-controlled salt_len field to bypass validation, causing CByteBuffer::CopyFrom to memcpy up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64-byte buffer.

MitigationUpgrade NanaZip to version 6.0.1698.0 (stable) or 6.5.1742.0 (preview) to patch the integer overflow in the AVB vbmeta parser bounds validation.

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 installation and version
    Check the installed NanaZip version. On Windows, look in Programs and Features, or right-click the NanaZip executable and view Properties > Details > File version. The version format is X.Y.ZZZZ.WWWW.
    Affected if The installed version falls within 3.0.1000.0 through 6.0.1698.0 (inclusive).
  2. Identify AVB vbmeta file processing activity
    Review recent file operations in NanaZip. The vulnerability triggers when opening or extracting Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image files, typically with .vbmeta, .img, or similar extensions used in Android system images.
    Affected if NanaZip has been used to open, extract, or browse AVB vbmeta image files.
  3. Check for suspicious vbmeta image files
    Examine any vbmeta or Android boot image files that have been opened with NanaZip. These are typically found in Android firmware dumps, custom ROM packages, or system image backups.
    Affected if Any vbmeta image files from untrusted sources have been processed with NanaZip.

A user is affected if NanaZip version 3.0.1000.0 through 6.0.1698.0 is installed and has been used to open or extract AVB vbmeta image files.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade NanaZip to version 6.0.1698.0 (stable) or 6.5.1742.0 (preview) to patch the integer overflow in the AVB vbmeta parser bounds validation.

Recommended fix High confidence

6.0.1698.0 (stable) or 6.5.1742.0 (preview)

  1. Check current NanaZip version by opening the application and navigating to Help > About, or checking the executable properties
  2. Download NanaZip version 6.0.1698.0 (stable) or later from the official GitHub repository (github.com/M2Team/NanaZip)
  3. Verify the downloaded installer matches the expected SHA256 hash from the release page
  4. Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts to upgrade
  5. After installation, verify the new version by checking Help > About to confirm version 6.0.1698.0 or later is installed
