			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenLinux: unzip directory traversal 
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-031.0
Issue date: 		2003 November 07
Cross reference:	sr882696 fz528147 erg712381 CAN-2003-0282
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	unzip is a program widely used for the distribution of
	multiple files concatenated/compacted (a file commonly known
	as an "archive"). 
	
	A vulnerability has been found in the way unzip extracts files 
	with invalid characters between two '.' (dot) characters in 
	their path/names. These characters are filtered and result in 
	a ".." sequence (indicating the parent directory). By exploiting 
	this vulnerability, an attacker can overwrite arbitrary files 
	if the user unpacking such an archive has sufficient filesystem 
	permissions to do so. 
	
	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
	has assigned the name CAN-2003-0282 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to unzip-5.40-6MR.i386.rpm
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to unzip-5.40-6MR.i386.rpm


3. Solution

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
