Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in PMQS IO::Uncompress::Unzip up to 2.214 on Perl. This affects the function _dosToUnixTime. The manipulation of the argument file with an unknown input leads to a uncaught exception vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-248. An exception is thrown from a function, but it is not caught. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

IO::Uncompress::Unzip versions before 2.215 for Perl propagate uncaught exception when parsing zip header with malformed DOS date. _dosToUnixTime() decodes the local-file-header last-modification date field and calls Time::Local::timelocal() without an eval guard. A header whose date field decodes to an out-of-range month, day, or hour causes timelocal() to die. The exception propagates out of IO::Uncompress::Unzip->new($file) where callers expect undef plus $UnzipError.
