  - Zziplib through 0.13.80 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in zzip/mmapped.c that allows
    attackers to over-read heap memory via a crafted ZIP central directory. Attackers can craft an end-of-
    central-directory record placing the first entry near the buffer end, causing zzip_disk_entry_strdup_name
    to read past the buffer and crash the application. (CVE-2026-111142)
