MarkUs is a web application for the submission and grading of student assignments. Prior to version 2.9.4, MarkUs currently extracts zip files without any size or entry-count limits. For example, instructors can upload a zip file to provide an assignment configuration; students can upload a zip file for an assignment submission and indicate its contents should be extracted.
This issue has been patched in version 2.9.4.
