fedora
Calendar Grey February 17, 2022
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 35 releases zziplib patch addressing CVE-2020-18442 vulnerability linked to infinite loops during file extraction processes.
Upstream version 0.13.72 Fixes CVE-2020-18442

Summary

The zziplib library is intentionally lightweight, it offers the ability to

easily extract data from files archived in a single zip file. Applications

can bundle files into a single zip archive and access them. The implementation

is based only on the (free) subset of compression with the zlib algorithm

which is actually used by the zip/unzip tools.
