===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-189-1   September 29, 2005
cpio vulnerabilities
CAN-2005-1111, CAN-2005-1229
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected:

cpio

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.5-1.1ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 2.5-1.1ubuntu1.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.04).  In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Imran Ghory found a race condition in the handling of output files.
While a file was unpacked with cpio, a local attacker with write
permissions to the target directory could exploit this to change the
permissions of arbitrary files of the cpio user. (CAN-2005-1111)

Imran Ghory discovered a path traversal vulnerability. Even when the
--no-absolute-filenames option was specified, cpio did not filter out
".." path components. By tricking an user into unpacking a malicious
cpio archive, this could be exploited to install files in arbitrary
paths with the privileges of the user calling cpio. (CAN-2005-1229)
