Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2018-08-16 16:25:35 UTC 
MITRE description:

Race condition in Unzip 5.52 allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by Unzip after the decompression is complete.
Comment 2 Stephen Herr 2019-06-13 19:24:57 UTC 
Statement:

This issue was addressed in unzip packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 via RHBA-2007:0418 and RHSA-2007:0203 respectively.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is not vulnerable to this issue as it contains a backported patch.
