Details

An updated zip package that fixes various problems is now
available.

The zip program is an archiving utility that can create ZIP-compatible
archives.

This update fixes the following two bugs:
* The zip program would segfault on big files on ppc64 and AMD64 systems.
* The zip program did not honor the umask setting when creating archives.

Users of zip should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these
issues.
