How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 python-test.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-test package and not the python-test package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The 'zipfile' module would not check the validity of the ZIP64 End of Central Directory (EOCD) Locator record offset value would not be used to locate the ZIP64 EOCD record, instead the ZIP64 EOCD record would be assumed to be the previous record in the ZIP archive. This could be abused to create ZIP archives that are handled differently by the 'zipfile' module compared to other ZIP implementations.

Remediation maintains this behavior, but checks that the offset specified in the ZIP64 EOCD Locator record matches the expected value.
