Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a uncontrolled memory allocation issue in zziplib, a ZIP archive library. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a specially crafted file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in zziplib version 0.13.56-1.1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your zziplib packages.
