Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
zip contains a buffer overflow when creating a ZIP archive of files |
19 |
with very long path names. This could lead to the execution of |
20 |
arbitrary code. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
zip is a compression and file packaging utility. |
26 |
|
27 |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

33 |
1 app-arch/zip <= 2.3-r3 >= 2.3-r4 |

|
35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
zip does not check the resulting path length when doing recursive |
39 |
folder compression. |
40 |
|
41 |
Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
An attacker could exploit this by enticing another user or web |
45 |
application to create an archive including a specially-crafted path |
46 |
name, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the |
47 |
permissions of the user running zip. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |
51 |
|
52 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All zip users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/zip-2.3-r4" |
61 |
