Posted Mar 27, 2015

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-066 - In GNU Cpio 2.11, the --no-absolute-filenames option limits extracting contents of an archive to be strictly inside a current directory. However, it can be bypassed with symlinks. While extracting an archive, it will extract symlinks and then follow them if they are referenced in further entries. This can be exploited by a rogue archive to write files outside the current directory.

Problem Description:

Updated cpio package fixes security vulnerability:

In GNU Cpio 2.11, the --no-absolute-filenames option limits
extracting contents of an archive to be strictly inside a current
directory. However, it can be bypassed with symlinks. While extracting
an archive, it will extract symlinks and then follow them if they
are referenced in further entries. This can be exploited by a rogue
archive to write files outside the current directory (CVE-2015-1197).
