MSZIP archive in a .cab file during a test or extract action, related
to the libmspack library (CVE-2010-2800).

Integer signedness error in the Quantum decompressor in cabextract
before 1.3, when archive test mode is used, allows user-assisted
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Quantum archive in
a .cab file, related to the libmspack library (CVE-2010-2801).
