samtools htslib library version 1.4.0 and earlier is vulnerable to buffer overflow in the CRAM rANS codec resulting in potential arbitrary code execution
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
