Notifications for a CVE
Stay informed of any changes for a specific CVE.
CVE Descriptions
Buffer overflow in Winzip32.exe in WinZip 9.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long command line argument. NOTE: this issue may cross privilege boundaries if an application automatically invokes Winzip32.exe for untrusted input filenames, as in the case of a file upload application. NOTE: The provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

WinZip is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
An attacker may exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions and possibly to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application, but this has not been confirmed.
This issue affects versions prior to 9.0 SR1.
