Ubuntu 24.04 LTS : unzip vulnerability (USN-7054-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 208082

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7054-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that unzip did not properly handle unicode strings under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted zip file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause unzip to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected unzip package.
