Background ========== zoo is a file archiving utility for maintaining collections of files, written by Rahul Dhesi. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-arch/zoo < 2.10-r2 >= 2.10-r2 Description =========== zoo is vulnerable to a new buffer overflow due to insecure use of the strcpy() function when trying to create an archive from certain directories or filenames.

Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time.
