How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 icedtea-web to version 1.8.3-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icedtea-web package and not the icedtea-web package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that icedtea-web up to and including 1.7.2 and 1.8.2 was vulnerable to a zip-slip attack during auto-extraction of a JAR file. An attacker could use this flaw to write files to arbitrary locations. This could also be used to replace the main running application and, possibly, break out of the sandbox.
