    CVE-2005-4667

    Published: 31 Dec 2005Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: Buffer overflow in UnZip 5.50 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename command line argument. NOTE: since the overflow occurs in a non-setuid program, there are not many scenarios under which it poses a vulnerability, unless unzip is passed long arguments when it is invoked from other programs.
