Attackers can persuade users to install a crafted zip bomb extension archive that expands without size limits, causing later writes by Ghidra and other applications to fail."

Los atacantes pueden persuadir a los usuarios para que instalen un archivo de extensión de tipo zip bomb manipulado que se expande sin límites de tamaño, lo que provoca que las escrituras posteriores de Ghidra y otras aplicaciones fallen."
