zziplib vulnerabilities
==========================
==========================
========================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 17.04
- Ubuntu 16.10
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
zziplib could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened=
a
specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- zziplib: library providing read access on ZIP-archives
Details:
Agostino Sarubbo discovered that zziplib incorrectly handled certain
malformed ZIP files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted ZIP file, a remote attacker could cause zzipl=
ib
to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary=
code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.04:
libzzip-0-13 0.13.62-3ubuntu0.17.04.1
Ubuntu 16.10:
libzzip-0-13 0.13.62-3ubuntu0.16.10.1
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libzzip-0-13 0.13.62-3ubuntu0.16.04.1
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libzzip-0-13 0.13.62-2ubuntu0.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.=
