Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51430
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:672
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:672.

unzip is a program widely used for the distribution of multiple files
concatenated/compacted (a file commonly known as an archive).

A vulnerability has been found in the way unzip extracts files with
invalid characters between two '.' (dot) characters in their
path/names. These characters are filtered and result in a ..
sequence (indicating the parent directory). By exploiting this
vulnerability, an attacker can overwrite arbitrary files if the user
unpacking such an archive has sufficient filesystem permissions to do
so.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2003-0282 to this issue.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
