DISPUTED pmach.cpp in UPX 3.94 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mach-O file, related to canPack and unpack functions. NOTE: the vendor has stated "there is no security implication whatsoever."
plxelf.cpp in UPX 3.94 mishandles ELF headers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by an Invalid Pointer Read in PackLinuxElf64::unpack().
Null pointer dereference was found in upx PackLinuxElf::canUnpack() in plxelf.cpp,in version UPX 4.0.0. That allow attackers to execute arbitrary code and cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

canUnpack in pvmlinx.cpp in UPX 3.95 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (SEGV or buffer overflow, and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UPX packed file.
PackLinuxElf64::unpack in plxelf.cpp in UPX 3.95 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free), limit the ability of a malware scanner to operate on the entire original data, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the getle32 function in bele.h in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the invertptdynamic function in plxelf.cpp in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the getle64 function in bele.h in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the accuagetbe32 function in miniacc.h in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
A heap buffer overflow read was discovered in upx 4.0.0, because the check in plxelf.cpp is not perfect.
A flaw was found in upx canPack in plxelf.cpp in UPX 3.96 that allows attackers to cause a denial of service (SEGV or buffer overflow, and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impacts via a crafted ELF.

An invalid memory address dereference was discovered in the canUnpack function in pmach.cpp in UPX 3.95 via a crafted Mach-O file.
A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in canUnpack in pmach.cpp in UPX 3.95 via a crafted Mach-O file.
An assertion abort was found in upx MemBuffer::alloc() in mem.cpp, in version UPX 4.0.0. The flow allows attackers to cause a denial of service (abort) via a crafted file.
An floating point exception was discovered in the elflookup function in plxelf.cpp in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
An invalid memory address reference was discovered in the elflookup function in plxelf.cpp in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
An invalid memory address reference was discovered in the adjABS function in plxelf.cpp in UPX 4.0.0 via a crafted Mach-O file.
A Segmentation fault was found in UPX in invertptdynamic() function in plxelf.cpp. An attacker with a crafted input file allows invalid memory address access that could lead to a denial of service.

A heap-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in UPX in PackTmt::pack() in ptmt.cpp file. The flow allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (abort) via a crafted file.
