Vulnerability CVE-2005-4667
Published: 2005-12-31   Modified: 2012-02-12

Description:
Buffer overflow in UnZip 5.50 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename command line argument. NOTE: since the overflow occurs in a non-setuid program, there are not many scenarios under which it poses a vulnerability, unless unzip is passed long arguments when it is invoked from other programs.

Type:

CWE-119

 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer)
