Package        : zziplib
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Scope  : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-1614

The zziplib library is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow
which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
or denial of service (application crash) via a long file name.

For the testing distribution (lenny) this is fixed in version
0.12.83-8lenny1

For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version
0.13.49-0

This upgrade is recommended if you use zziplib
(zziplib-bin, libzzip-0-12, libzzip-dev)
