==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 17.10

Summary:
AdvanceCOMP could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.
Software Description:
- advancecomp: collection of recompression utilities
Details:
Joonun Jang discovered that AdvanceCOMP incorrectly handled certain
malformed zip files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted zip file, a remote attacker could cause
AdvanceCOMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following

advancecomp 2.0-1ubuntu0.1
