[GLSA-200603-05] zoo: Stack-based buffer overflow Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
zoo: Stack-based buffer overflow
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-05
(zoo: Stack-based buffer overflow)
Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux discovered a boundary error in the
fullpath() function in misc.c when processing overly long file and
directory names in ZOO archives.
Impact
A possible hacker could craft a malicious ZOO archive and entice someone
to open it using zoo. This would trigger a stack-based buffer overflow
and potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
the victim user.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
