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

The version of unzip installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2015-7697 advisory.

  - Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via empty bzip2     data in a ZIP archive. (CVE-2015-7697)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - CVE-2015-7696: Specially crafted zip files with password     protection could trigger a crash and lead to denial of     service (bsc#950110)

  - CVE-2015-7697: Specially crafted zip files could trigger     an endless loop and lead to denial of service     (bsc#950111)

  - CVE-2016-9844: Specially crafted zip files could trigger     invalid memory writes possibly resulting in DoS or     corruption (bsc#1013992)

  - CVE-2018-1000035: Prevent heap-based buffer overflow in     the processing of password-protected archives that     allowed an attacker to perform a denial of service or to     possibly achieve code execution (bsc#1080074).

  - CVE-2014-9636: Prevent 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 (bsc#914442).

This non-security issue was fixed :

  - Allow processing of Windows zip64 archives (Windows     archivers set total_disks field to 0 but per standard,     valid values are 1 and higher) (bnc#910683)

Gustavo Grieco reports :

Two issues were found in unzip 6.0 :

* A heap overflow triggered by unzipping a file with password (e.g unzip -p -P x sigsegv.zip).

* A denegation of service with a file that never finishes unzipping (e.g. unzip sigxcpu.zip).

Two vulnerabilities have been found in unzip, a de-archiver for .zip files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2015-7696     Gustavo Grieco discovered that unzip incorrectly handled     certain password protected archives. If a user or     automated system were tricked into processing a     specially crafted zip archive, an attacker could     possibly execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2015-7697     Gustavo Grieco discovered that unzip incorrectly handled     certain malformed archives. If a user or automated     system were tricked into processing a specially crafted     zip archive, an attacker could possibly cause unzip to     hang, resulting in a denial of service.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2788-1 advisory.

    Gustavo Grieco discovered that unzip incorrectly handled certain password protected archives. If a user or     automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted zip archive, an attacker could possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7696)

    Gustavo Grieco discovered that unzip incorrectly handled certain malformed archives. If a user or     automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted zip archive, an attacker could possibly     cause unzip to hang, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7697)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Gustavo Grieco discovered with a fuzzer that unzip was vulnerable to a heap overflow and to a denial of service with specially crafted password-protected ZIP archives.

For the Debian 6 squeeze, these issues haven been fixed in unzip 6.0-4+deb6u3.
