==========================
========================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

unzip could be made to run programs if it opened a specially crafted file=
=2E

Software Description:
- unzip: De-archiver for .zip files

Details:

William Robinet 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.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
unzip 6.0-12ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
unzip 6.0-9ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
unzip 6.0-4ubuntu2.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.=
