Cvss 3 Severity Score

Description

Info-ZIP Zip 3.0, when the -T and -TT command-line options are used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of an off-by-one error. NOTE: it is unclear whether there are realistic scenarios in which an untrusted party controls the -TT value, given that the entire purpose of -TT is execution of arbitrary commands

Notes

rodrigo-zaiden

suse does not have plans to fix it and debian marked as negligible. There is no obvious security impact since there is no scenarios where an untrusted party controls the -TT input value.

mdeslaur

Ubuntu is ignoring this issue as the attacker scenario is unlikely and this is unlikely to ever get an fix from upstream developers.
