Debian Security Advisory DSA 344-2 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
August 26th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

Package : unzip
Vulnerability : directory traversal
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific : no
CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0282

A directory traversal vulnerability in UnZip 5.50 allows
attackers to bypass a check for relative pathnames (“../”) by
placing certain invalid characters between the two “.” characters.
The fix which was implemented in DSA-344-1 may not have protected
against all methods of exploiting this vulnerability.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 5.50-1woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 5.50-3.

We recommend that you update your unzip package.
