CVE-2017-5974 zziplib vulnerabilities
Title: zziplib vulnerabilities
Summary: zziplib could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.
Agostino Sarubbo discovered that zziplib incorrectly handled certain
malformed ZIP files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted ZIP file, a remote attacker could cause zziplib
to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
