A new unzip vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-191-1 September 29, 2005
unzip vulnerability
CAN-2005-2475
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
The following packages are affected:
unzip
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 5.51-2ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 5.51-2ubuntu1.2 (for
Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to
effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Imran Ghory found a race condition in the handling of output files.
While a file was unpacked by unzip, a local attacker with write
permissions to the target directory could exploit this to change the
permissions of arbitrary files of the unzip user.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog):
