Weaknesses
CWE-119

Description

Buffer overflow in UnZip 5.50 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename command line argument. NOTE: since the overflow occurs in a non-setuid program, there are not many scenarios under which it poses a vulnerability, unless unzip is passed long arguments when it is invoked from other programs.

Affected configurations

• info-zip unzip 5.2 • info-zip unzip 5.3 • info-zip unzip 5.31 • info-zip unzip 5.32 • info-zip unzip 5.40 • info-zip unzip 5.41 • info-zip unzip 5.42 • info-zip unzip 5.50
