Red Hat update for zziplib

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU11557

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-6541

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in __zzip_fetch_disk_trailer in zzip/zip.c due to bus error caused by loading of a misaligned address when handling disk64_trailer local entries. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted zip file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
