        CVE ID:  CVE-2025-15649
  Distribution:  IO-Compress
      Versions:  before 2.215

IO::Uncompress::Unzip versions before 2.215 for Perl propagate uncaught
exception when parsing zip header with malformed DOS date

Description
-----------
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.

Problem types
-------------
- CWE-248 Uncaught Exception

Solutions
---------
Upgrade to IO-Compress 2.215 or later.
