Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : unzip (MDKSA-2005:197)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20125

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Unzip 5.51 and earlier does not properly warn the user when extracting setuid or setgid files, which may allow local users to gain privileges. (CVE-2005-0602)

Imran Ghory found a race condition in the handling of output files.
While a file was unpacked by unzip, a local attacker with write permissions to the target directory could exploit this to change the permissions of arbitrary files of the unzip user. This affects versions of unzip 5.52 and lower (CVE-2005-2475)

The updated packages have been patched to address these issues.

Solution

Update the affected unzip package.
