+ <title>Archive::Zip: Virus detection evasion</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Email virus scanning software relying on Archive::Zip can be fooled into
+ thinking a ZIP attachment is empty while it contains a virus, allowing
+ detection evasion.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Archive::Zip is a Perl module containing functions to handle ZIP
+ archives.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Archive::Zip can be used by email scanning software (like amavisd-new)
+ to uncompress attachments before virus scanning. By modifying the
+ uncompressed size of archived files in the global header of the ZIP
+ file, it is possible to fool Archive::Zip into thinking some files
+ inside the archive have zero length.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could send a carefully crafted ZIP archive containing a
+ virus file and evade detection on some email virus-scanning software
+ relying on Archive::Zip for decompression.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Archive::Zip users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-perl/Archive-Zip-1.14"</code>
+ </resolution>
