| description: | |
| Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. |
| A maliciously crafted archive could cause Read to allocate unbounded |
| amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics. |
| After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. |
