This issue was previously reported here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1191136#c1

The issue was already corrected in Fedora unzip packages.  This issue is not planned to be corrected in the unzip packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7, as the problem is caught by FORTIFY_SOURCE, limiting impact to a crash of the unzip command.
