CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0196

The unzip utility is used to list, test, or extract files from a zip
archive.

An invalid pointer flaw was found in unzip. If a user ran unzip on a
specially crafted file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with that
user’s privileges. (CVE-2008-0888)

Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team for
reporting this issue.

All unzip users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
