Debian DLA-150-1 : unzip security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82133

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A flaw was found in the test_compr_eb() function allowing out-of-bounds read and write access to memory locations. By carefully crafting a corrupt ZIP archive an attacker can trigger a heap overflow, resulting in application crash or possibly having other unspecified impact.

Additionally this update corrects a defective patch applied to address CVE-2014-8139, which caused a regression with executable jar files.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected unzip package.
