Description:

When reading a specially crafted ZIP archive, Compress can be made to allocate 
large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out of memory error even for 
very small inputs. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack 
against services that use Compress' zip package.


Mitigation:

Commons Compress users should upgrade to 1.21 or later.
