zoo: Stack-based buffer overflow Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-05 (zoo: Stack-based buffer overflow) Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux discovered a boundary error in the fullpath() function in misc.c when processing overly long file and directory names in ZOO archives. Impact A possible hacker could craft a malicious ZOO archive and entice someone to open it using zoo. This would trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and potentially permit execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the victim user. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
