Debian 10158 Published by

Updated unzip packages has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS



Package : unzip
Version : 6.0-16+deb8u5
CVE ID : CVE-2019-13232
Debian Bug : 932404

The unzip security update issued as DLA 1846-1 caused a regression
when building the Firefox web browser from source.

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 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
6.0-16+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your unzip packages.
