medium Nessus Plugin ID 103481

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

libzip developers report :

The _zip_read_eocd64 function in zip_open.c in libzip before 1.3.0 mishandles EOCD records, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation failure in _zip_cdir_grow in zip_dirent.c) via a crafted ZIP archive.

Solution

Update the affected package.
