Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : unzip regression fix (USN-248-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 21057

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

USN-248-1 fixed a vulnerability in unzip. However, that update inadvertedly changed the field order in the contents listing output, which broke unzip frontends like file-roller. The updated packages fix this regression.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected unzip package.
