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

  - Buffer overflow in the list_files function in list.c in     Info-Zip UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via vectors related to the     compression method.(CVE-2014-9913)

  - Buffer overflow in the zi_short function in zipinfo.c     in Info-Zip UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (crash) via a large compression     method value in the central directory file     header.(CVE-2016-9844)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An update of the unzip package has been released.

This update for unzip fixes the following security issues :

CVE-2014-9913: Specially crafted zip files could trigger invalid memory writes possibly resulting in DoS or corruption (bsc#1013993)

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).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

An update of [openjdk,openjre,bash,libtar,glibc,libgcrypt,strongswan,unzip] packages for PhotonOS has been released.

'unzip -l' (CVE-2014-9913) and 'zipinfo' (CVE-2016-9844) were vulnerable to buffer overflows when provided malformed or maliciously-crafted ZIP files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 6.0-8+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your unzip packages.

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-2014-9913 advisory.

  - Buffer overflow in the list_files function in list.c in Info-Zip UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to the compression method. (CVE-2014-9913)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Buffer overflow in the list_files function in list.c in Info-Zip UnZip 6.0 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to the compression method. (CVE-2014-9913)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This update for unzip fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2014-9913: Specially crafted zip files could trigger     invalid memory writes possibly resulting in DoS or     corruption (bsc#1013993)

  - 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)

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)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

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

  - 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)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow exists in Info-Zip UnZip     version <= 6.00 in the processing of password-protected     archives that allows an attacker to perform a denial of     service or to possibly achieve code     execution.(CVE-2018-1000035)
