Info-ZIP Zip 3.0, when the -T and -TT command-line options are used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of an off-by-one error. NOTE: it is unclear whether there are realistic scenarios in which an untrusted party controls the -TT value, given that the entire purpose of -TT is execution of arbitrary commands

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Info-ZIP Zip 3.0, when the -T and -TT command-line options are used, allows attackers to cause a denial of
    service (invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of an off-
    by-one error. NOTE: it is unclear whether there are realistic scenarios in which an untrusted party
    controls the -TT value, given that the entire purpose of -TT is execution of arbitrary commands
    (CVE-2018-13410)

The remote Debian 12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-4785 advisory.

    Multiple minor vulnerabilities was adressed together with the prime issue:
    Harry Sintonen discovered that the Info-ZIP zip program is prone to a     command injection vulnerability if a specially crafted filename is     processed.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version     3.0-13+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your zip packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Info-ZIP Zip 3.0, when the -T and -TT command-line options are used, allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of an off-     by-one error. NOTE: it is unclear whether there are realistic scenarios in which an untrusted party     controls the -TT value, given that the entire purpose of -TT is execution of arbitrary commands     (CVE-2018-13410)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of zip installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2018-13410 advisory.
