The cabd_extract function in cabd.c in libmspack before 0.5 does not properly maintain decompression callbacks in certain cases where an invalid file follows a valid file, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-9732 is a crash bug in libmspack before 0.5. A crafted CAB archive can cause an application using the library to dereference NULL and crash. Business impact is denial of service, not documented data theft or code execution in the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in systems, services, or desktop applications that use libmspack before 0.5 to process CAB archives, especially where users or external parties can submit archives. Prioritize remediation for externally reachable file-processing workflows. Internal-only or rarely used CAB extraction paths are lower urgency, but should still be patched during normal maintenance because crashes can disrupt service availability. Mitigation focus: Upgrade libmspack to 0.5 or later where available.; Apply vendor or distribution packages that include the libmspack fix.; Restrict CAB processing from untrusted sources where upgrade is delayed..
