Summary

In Info-ZIP Zip 3.0, when the -T and -TT command-line options are used, attackers can cause a denial of service (invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of an off-by-one error. Note that 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.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can lead to application crashes and disruption of services relying on Zip. The risk is limited because exploitation requires control over the -TT option value, which is unlikely in practice.

Recommendation

Update Info-ZIP Zip to a version containing the fix or avoid using the -T and -TT options with untrusted input. Monitor the vendor's official sources for the appropriate update.
