    Issue:
    ======
    Zipped files (files having a .zip extension) provide a means to
    store information in a way that uses less space on a hard disk. This
    is accomplished by compressing the files that are put into in the
    zipped file. On Windows 98 with Plus! Pack, Windows Me and Windows
    XP, the Compressed Folders feature allows zipped files to be treated
    as folders. The Compressed Folders feature can be used to create,
    add files to, and extract files from zipped files.

    Two vulnerabilities exist in the Compressed Folders function:

    - An unchecked buffer exists in the programs that handles the
    decompressing of files from a zipped file. A security
    vulnerability results because attempts to open a file with
    a specially malformed filename contained in a zipped file could
    possibly result in Windows Explorer failing, or in code of the
    attacker?s choice being run.
    - The decompression function could place a file in a directory
    that was not the same as, or a child of, the target directory
    specified by the user as where the decompressed zip files should
    be placed. This could allow an attacker to put a file in a known
    location on the users system, such as placing a program in a
    startup directory

    1 Critical, 1Moderate, 1 Moderate>So So

    Sorry. The three other updates are not all critical. One is critical. One is moderate and the other one is iffy.
