Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Buffer overflow in Info-Zip 2.3 and possibly earlier versions, when using recursive folder compression, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ZIP file containing a long pathname.

Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

The NEEDBITS macro in the inflatedynamic function in inflate.c for unzip can be invoked using invalid buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors that trigger a free of uninitialized or previously-freed data.

Buffer overflow in the charsettointern function in unix/unix.c in Info-Zip UnZip 6.10b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string, as demonstrated by converting a string from CP866 to UTF-8.

Buffer Overflow

Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 has a buffer overflow in list.c, when a ZIP archive has a crafted relationship between the compressed-size value and the uncompressed-size value, because a buffer size is 10 and is supposed to be 12.

oCERT reports an unzip flaw discovered by Michele Spagnuolo, Google Security Team:

""" The read errors show problems in process.c:getZip64Data(), which lacked any error detection or reporting, and was trying to extract multi-byte data from a buffer which did not contain enough bytes.

Proposed changes:

http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/unzip60/fileio.c fileio.c:dostring() looks at the status value returned from process.c:getZip64Data(), and puts out a new warning. http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/unzip60/process.c process.c:getZip64Data() gets new validity tests, and it returns a useful status value. """

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT acknowledges Michele Spagnuolo of the Google Security Team as the original reporter.
