CVE-2018-1324 apache-commons-compress: Infinite loop via extra field parser in ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream classes
Last modified: 2018-08-18 07:28:43 EDT
A flaw was found in Apache Commons Compress versions 1.11 to 1.15. A specially crafted ZIP archive can be used to cause an infinite loop inside of Apache Commons Compress' extra field parser used by the ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream classes in versions 1.11 to 1.15. This can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' zip package.

apache-commons-compress-1.13-3.fc26 has been pushed to the Fedora 26 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
apache-commons-compress-1.14-3.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
RHMAP has a dependency on commons-compress because it's required by log4j-core. Log4j-core only uses commons-compress for compression of log files, and doesn't provide any decompression functionality. Therefore log4j-core and RHMAP are not affected by this flaw.
