MDKSA-2003:073-1: unzip |

Check for the version of the unzip package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2003:073-1 (unzip). A vulnerability was discovered in unzip 5.50 and earlier that permits attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction by placing non-printable characters between two '.' characters. These invalid characters are filtered which results in a '..' sequence. The patch applied to these packages prevents unzip from writing to parent directories unless the '-:' command line option is used. Update: Ben Laurie found that the original patch used to fix this issue missed a case where the path component included a quoted slash. An updated patch was used to build these packages.
