In ZZIPlib 0.13.67, there is a memory alignment error and bus error in the __zzip_fetch_disk_trailer function of zzip/zip.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted zip file.

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.

  - zziplib: uncontrolled memory allocation in __zzip_parse_root_directory in zzip/zip.c (CVE-2018-6869)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the __zzip_get32 function in fetch.c in zziplib 0.13.62, 0.13.61, 0.13.60,     0.13.59, 0.13.58, 0.13.57, 0.13.56 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted ZIP file. (CVE-2017-5974)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the __zzip_get64 function in fetch.c in zziplib 0.13.62, 0.13.61, 0.13.60,     0.13.59, 0.13.58, 0.13.57, 0.13.56 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted ZIP file. (CVE-2017-5975)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

Several issues have been fixed in zziplib, a library providing read access on ZIP-archives. They are basically all related to invalid memory access and resulting crash or memory leak.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.13.62-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your zziplib packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3699-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that zziplib incorrectly handled certain malformed ZIP files. If a user or automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted ZIP file, a remote attacker could cause zziplib to     crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

This update for zziplib fixes the following issues: Version update to 0.13.67 contains lots of bug- and security fixes.

  - If an extension block is too small to hold an extension,     do not use the information therein.

  - CVE-2018-6540: If the End of central directory record     (EOCD) contains an Offset of start of central directory     which is beyond the end of the file, reject the file.
    (bsc#1079096)

  - CVE-2018-6484: Reject the ZIP file and report it as     corrupt if the size of the central directory and/or the     offset of start of central directory point beyond the     end of the ZIP file. (bsc#1078701)

  - CVE-2018-6381: If a file is uncompressed, compressed and     uncompressed sizes should be identical. (bsc#1078497)
