Parent article: File overwrite vulnerability in tar and unzip

The UnZip vulnerability was reported on Bugtraq more than a year ago and has been prominently displayed on the UnZip home page ever since then. UnZip 5.5, which fixes the bug, was released more than seven and a half months ago.

There are also a number of related (i.e., data-loss) bugs against various versions of Zip and UnZip listed on the Info-ZIP FAQ page.
