The 'zipfile' module would not check the validity of the ZIP64 End of Central Directory (EOCD) Locator record offset value would not be used to locate the ZIP64 EOCD record, instead the ZIP64 EOCD record would be assumed to be the previous record in the ZIP archive. This could be abused to create ZIP archives that are handled differently by the 'zipfile' module compared to other ZIP implementations. Remediation maintains this behavior, but checks that the offset specified in the ZIP64 EOCD Locator record matches the expected value.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4354 advisory.

    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4354-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                       Andrej Shadura     October 31, 2025                              https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

    Package        : pypy3     Version        : 7.3.5+dfsg-2+deb11u5     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-6232 CVE-2024-6923 CVE-2024-7592 CVE-2024-11168                      CVE-2025-0938 CVE-2025-1795 CVE-2025-6069 CVE-2025-8291

    This upload fixes a few of security issues in the Python standard library     included with PyPy, an alternative implementation of the Python 3 language.

    CVE-2024-6232

        The tarfile module used to parse tar parsed header values with regular         expressions that allowed for backtracking, which could be used to cause         denial of service via specifically-crafted tar archives (ReDoS). Since         tar headers have a well-known format that doesn't require backtracking         to parse reliably, the new method of parsing only requires a single pass         over a byte stream.

    CVE-2024-6923

        The email module didnt properly quote newlines when serialising         email messages, which could be used to inject newlines that would         affect the interpretation of the email headers. An attacker could         cause some email headers to be completely skipped or potentially         hide malicious headers within other headers.

    CVE-2024-7592

        The http.cookies, when parsing cookies that contained backslashes         for quoted characters in the cookie value, would use an algorithm         with quadratic complexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being         used while parsing the value. E.g. parsing a 20000+ byte cookie         would take about a second (ReDoS).

    CVE-2024-11168 and CVE-2025-0938

        The urllib.parse.urlsplit and urlparse functions improperly validated         domain names that included square brackets allowing hosts that         weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture.

    CVE-2025-1795

        In the email module, during an address list folding, when a separating         comma ended up on a folded line and that line is to be Unicode-encoded,         then the separator itself was also Unicode-encoded. Expected behavior         is that the separating comma remains a plan comma. This could result         in the address header being misinterpreted by some mail servers.

    CVE-2025-6069

        The html.parser.HTMLParser class had worse-case quadratic complexity         when processing certain crafted malformed inputs potentially leading         to amplified denial-of-service.

    CVE-2025-8291

        The zipfile module would not check the validity of the ZIP64 End of         Central Directory (EOCD).
        Locator record offset value would not be used to locate the ZIP64         EOCD record, but instead the ZIP64 EOCD record would be assumed         to be the previous record in the ZIP archive. This could be abused         to create ZIP archives that are handled differently by the zipfile         module compared to other ZIP implementations. Remediation maintains         this behavior, but checks that the offset specified in the ZIP64         EOCD Locator record matches the expected value.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     7.3.5+dfsg-2+deb11u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pypy3 packages.
