FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information.

CVE-2014-8139 unzip vulnerabilities
Title: unzip vulnerabilities
Summary: unzip could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.
Wolfgang Ettlinger discovered that unzip incorrectly handled certain
malformed zip archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted zip archive, an attacker could possibly
execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

unzip: getZip64Data() out-of-bounds read issues (oCERT-2014-011)
Heap-based buffer overflow in the getZip64Data function in Info-ZIP UnZip 6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted zip file in the -t command argument to the unzip command.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way unzip handled Zip64 files. A specially crafted Zip archive could possibly cause unzip to crash when the archive was uncompressed.
Statement: This issue did not affect the versions of unzip as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as they did not include support for Zip64.
Package: unzip (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5) - Not affected

CVE-2014-8141 [HIGH] CVE-2014-8141 unzip: getZip64Data() out-of-bounds read issues (oCERT-2014-011)
CVE-2014-8141 unzip: getZip64Data() out-of-bounds read issues (oCERT-2014-011)
oCERT reports an unzip flaw discovered by Michele Spagnuolo, Google Security Team:
"""
The read errors show problems in process.c:getZip64Data(), which lacked any error detection or reporting, and was trying to extract multi-byte data from a buffer which did not contain enough bytes.
Proposed changes:
http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/unzip60/fileio.c
fileio.c:do_string() looks at the status value returned from process.c:getZip64Data(), and puts out a new warning.
http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/unzip60/process.c
process.c:getZip64Data() gets new validity tests, and it returns a useful status value.
"""

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT acknowledges Mic
