Package : unzip
Version : 6.0-26+deb11u2 6.0-28+deb12u1
CVE ID : not yet available
Debian Bug : 1142904 1142905 1142906
Akhil Koul discovered a vulnerability in the Info-ZIP unzip program,
which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a specially
crafted file is processed.
For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
6.0-26+deb11u2.
For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
6.0-28+deb12u1.
In addition, both uploads contain patches that fix two crashes in unzip
caused by stack and heap out-of-bounds access.
We recommend that you upgrade your unzip packages.
For the detailed security status of unzip please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/unzip

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
