An issue was discovered in ZZIPlib 0.13.68. An invalid memory address dereference was discovered in zzip_disk_fread in mmapped.c. The vulnerability causes an application crash, which leads to denial of service.

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.

According to the versions of the zziplib package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in ZZIPlib 0.13.68. An invalid     memory address dereference was discovered in     zzip_disk_fread in mmapped.c. The vulnerability causes     an application crash, which leads to denial of     service.(CVE-2018-7725 )

  - An issue was discovered in ZZIPlib 0.13.68. There is a     bus error caused by the __zzip_parse_root_directory     function of zip.c. Attackers could leverage this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a     crafted zip file.(CVE-2018-7726)

  - An issue was discovered in ZZIPlib 0.13.68. There is a     memory leak triggered in the function zzip_mem_disk_new     in memdisk.c, which will lead to a denial of service     attack.(CVE-2018-7727)

  - In ZZIPlib 0.13.67, there is a bus error caused by     loading of a misaligned address (when handling     disk64_trailer local entries) in
    __zzip_fetch_disk_trailer (zzip/zip.c). Remote     attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a     denial of service via a crafted zip     file.(CVE-2018-6541)

  - An issue was discovered in ZZIPlib through 0.13.69.
    There is a memory leak triggered in the function
