Re: [Full-disclosure] Unfiltered escape sequences in filenames contained in ZIP archives wouldn't be escaped on displaying or logging, and can also lead to bypass AV scanning

The problem must be located in the unzip engine:

We've created a mixed ZIP now:

# unzip -l mixed-eicar.zip
Archive: mixed-eicar.zip
  Length Date Time Name
 -------- ---- ---- ----
      308 03-10-05 12:00 Test^G^[[2J^[[2;5m^[[1;31mHACKER
ATTACK^[[2;25m^[[22;30m^[[3q.txt
      308 03-10-05 12:00 eicarcom2.zip
 -------- -------
      616 2 files

BTW: note here that "unzip" displays the escape sequences very proper!

Available here:
<ftp://ftp.aerasec.de/pub/advisories/unfiltered-escape-sequences/mixed-eicar.zip>

Some AV software detect the virus only in second part of the ZIP file, so
it looks like the first one is really skipped and not analysed.
