Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: zip
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:141
Date: November 25th, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability in zip was discovered where zip would not check the resulting path length when doing recursive folder compression, which could allow a malicious person to convince a user to create an archive containing a specially-crafted path name. By doing so, arbitrary code could be executed with the permissions of the user running zip.

The updated packages are patched to prevent this problem.
