Package : libzip-ruby

CVE ID : CVE-2017-5946
Debian Bug : 856269

It was discovered that libzip-ruby, a Ruby module for reading and
writing zip files, is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability. An
attacker can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite arbitrary files
during archive extraction via a .. (dot dot) in an extracted filename.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
0.9.4-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libzip-ruby packages.
