Managing large directories, especially those filled with a diverse mix of media such as documents and images, can quickly become cumbersome. In my latest project, dealing with a directory that totals a whopping 87GB, the need for efficient file compression and selective archiving became apparent. How can we streamline this process using the zip command, particularly when we want to exclude non-essential files and directories?

To resolve the CVE-2022-48624 vulnerability on Ubuntu using Nginx, it's crucial to understand that the issue lies within the "less" package, not Nginx itself. The vulnerability affects "less" before version 606, where close_altfile in filename.c in less omits shell_quote calls for LESSCLOSE, potentially allowing shell command injection.
The current less version is 551, which is vulnerable. You'll need to upgrade "less" to a version at or beyond 606.
