ELA-141-2: unzip regression update

Package: unzip
Version: 6.0-8+deb7u8
Related CVE: CVE-2019-13232
The unzip security update issued as ELA 141-1 caused a regression when extracting some non-standard zip files.

For instance there is a zip-like file in the Firefox distribution, omni.ja, which is a zip container with the central directory placed at the start of the file instead of after the local entries as required by the zip standard. This update now permits such containers to not raise a zip bomb alert, where in fact there are no overlaps.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 6.0-8+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your unzip packages.

CVE ID : CVE-2019-14811 CVE-2019-14812 CVE-2019-14813 CVE-2019-14817

It was discovered that various procedures in Ghostscript, the GPL

which could result in bypass of file system restrictions of the dSAFER
sandbox.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
