A new unzip vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-248-1 February 13, 2006
unzip vulnerability
CVE-2005-4667
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
The following packages are affected:
unzip
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 5.51-2ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 5.51-2ubuntu1.3 (for Ubuntu
5.04), or 5.52-3ubuntu2.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard
system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
A buffer overflow was discovered in the handling of file name
arguments. By tricking a user or automated system into processing a
specially crafted, excessively long file name with unzip, an attacker
could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's
privileges.
