USN159-1 : unzip vulnerability |

unzip vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote package "unzip" is missing a security patch. Description : If a ZIP archive contains binaries with the setuid and/or setgid bit set, unzip preserved those bits when extracting the archive. This could be exploited by tricking the administrator into unzipping an archive with a setuid-root binary into a directory the attacker can access. This permited the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root rights. The updated version does not preserve setuid, setgid, and sticky bits any more by default. The old behaviour can be explicitly requested now by supplying the option '-K'. Solution : Upgrade to : - unzip-5.51-2ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
