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

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

– Ubuntu 17.10

Summary:

AdvanceCOMP could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.

Software Description:
– advancecomp: collection of recompression utilities

Details:

Joonun Jang discovered that AdvanceCOMP incorrectly handled certain
malformed zip files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted zip file, a remote attacker could cause
AdvanceCOMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
