Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891846
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1846-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'unzip' package(s) announced via the DLA-1846-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'unzip' package(s) announced via the DLA-1846-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
David Fifield discovered a way to construct non-recursive zip bombs that achieve a high compression ratio by overlapping files inside the zip container. However the output size increases quadratically in the input size, reaching a compression ratio of over 28 million (10 MB -> 281 TB) at the limits of the zip format which can cause a denial-of-service. Mark Adler provided a patch to detect and reject such zip files for the unzip program.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 6.0-16+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your unzip packages.
