Description:
dmcox dmcox has reported a vulnerability in ZZIPlib Library, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to gain escalated privileges or compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in "zzip_open_shared_io()" within zzip/file.c when processing arguments. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long string passed as the filename argument to the said function.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
NOTE: Applications using this library may also be affected.
