Synopsis
========
A double free vulnerability discovered in UnZip might lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Info-ZIP's UnZip is a tool to list and extract files inside PKZIP
compressed files.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-arch/unzip < 5.52-r2 >= 5.52-r2
Description
===========
Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered that the NEEDBITS
macro in the inflate_dynamic() function in the file inflate.c can be
invoked using invalid buffers, which can lead to a double free.
Impact
======
Remote attackers could entice a user or automated system to open a
specially crafted ZIP file that might lead to the execution of
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All UnZip users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/unzip-5.52-r2"
