NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unzip package and not the unzip package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

unzip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) via an extra field with an uncompressed size smaller than the compressed field size in a zip archive that advertises STORED method compression.
