Severity
9.3
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.

Severity
9.1
Path Traversal
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

Due to improper path sanitization, archives containing relative file paths can cause files to be written (or overwritten) outside of the target directory.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Heap-based buffer overflow in the getZip64Data function in Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted zip file in the -t command argument to the unzip command.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A heap-based buffer overflow exists in Info-Zip UnZip version <= 6.00 in the processing of password-protected archives that allows an attacker to perform a denial of service or to possibly achieve code execution.

First published (updated )
Severity
6.8
Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted password-protected ZIP archive possibly related to an Extra-Field size value.

Input Validation, Use After Free, Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow, Race Condition
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in Unzip. The vulnerability occurs during the conversion of a wide string to a local string that leads to a heap of out-of-bound write. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted zip file, leading to a crash or code execution.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

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.

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

unzip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) via an extra field with an uncompressed size smaller than the compressed field size in a zip archive that advertises STORED method compression.

Severity
4.3
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via empty bzip2 data in a ZIP archive.

CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

Buffer overflow in the zishort function in zipinfo.c in Info-Zip UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large compression method value in the central directory file header.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

Buffer overflow in the listfiles function in list.c in Info-Zip UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to the compression method.

Severity
3.3
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 mishandles the overlapping of files inside a ZIP container, leading to denial of service (resource consumption), aka a "better zip bomb" issue.

Null Pointer Dereference
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

A flaw was found in unzip. The vulnerability occurs due to improper handling of Unicode strings, which can lead to a null pointer dereference. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted zip file, leading to a crash or code execution.
