In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Imran Ghory found a race condition in the handling of output files. While a file was unpacked by unzip, a local attacker with write permissions to the target directory could exploit this to change the permissions of arbitrary files of the unzip user.
