Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Commons Compress versions 1.11 through 1.15

Description A specially crafted ZIP archive can cause an infinite loop inside Apache Commons Compress' extra field parser used by the ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream classes. This can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' zip package.

Recommendations For versions 1.11 through 1.15, consider disabling the ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream classes until a patch is available to prevent potential denial of service attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of ZIP archives from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
