Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52949
Category:Turbolinux Local Security Tests
Title:Turbolinux TLSA-2003-42 (unzip)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to unzip
announced via advisory TLSA-2003-42.

Unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive.
UnZip contains a vulnerability during the handling of pathnames
for archived files. Specifically, when certain encoded characters are
inserted into '../' directory traversal sequences, the creator of the
archive can cause the file to be extracted to arbitrary locations on the
filesystem - including paths containing system binaries and other
sensitive or confidential information.

This will allow an attacker to create files in a hostile archive to be
placed anywhere on the target system.

Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update.
