| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in py7zr, a Python library for 7zip archive handling. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing a specially crafted .7z file. The `Worker.decompress()` function fails to track the total decompressed size, enabling a small archive to expand significantly and exhaust system resources such as disk space or memory during extraction. This issue is also known as a decompression bomb (CWE-409).
