Description Tomas Hoger 2014-12-16 15:46:35 UTC
oCERT reports an unzip flaw discovered by Michele Spagnuolo, Google Security Team:

"""
The read errors show problems in process.c:getZip64Data(), which lacked any error detection or reporting, and was trying to extract multi-byte data from a buffer which did not contain enough bytes.

Proposed changes:

http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/unzip60/fileio.c
fileio.c:do_string() looks at the status value returned from process.c:getZip64Data(), and puts out a new warning.
    
http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/unzip60/process.c
process.c:getZip64Data() gets new validity tests, and it returns a useful status value.
"""

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT acknowledges Michele Spagnuolo of the Google Security Team as the original reporter.

Comment 10 Tomas Hoger 2015-02-09 20:20:45 UTC
This issue only affects UnZip version 6.0, which is the version that introduced Zip64 support.  Older versions, such as unzip 5.52 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, do not contain affected code.

This is a heap-base buffer over-read issue.  Over-read is limited to 28 bytes, hence it's unlikely to lead to crash for normal builds.

upstream patch

This is upstream patch which is part of last devel version. There are aesthetic (more readable) changes.

Comment 12 Tomas Hoger 2015-02-10 13:20:26 UTC
This issue can be triggered in both test (unzip -t) and extraction mode.

Comment 13 Tomas Hoger 2015-02-10 13:37:23 UTC
Created unzip tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1191118]

Comment 19 Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-03-12 15:00:07 UTC
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of unzip as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as they did not include support for Zip64.
