cc2e0d30e067041417172ae7fe859eda11e0ad3a215aaabcfa689d1c421a6c78Debian Security Advisory 1566-1 - Dmitry Levin discovered a vulnerability in path handling code used by the cpio archive utility. The weakness could enable a denial of service (crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a vulnerable version of cpio is used to extract or to list the contents of a maliciously crafted archive.
b4bab381c166de7c08c0647965e2834878fc042ba7affd0458a39442a6060403Debian Security Advisory 1438-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU Tar. A directory traversal vulnerability enables attackers using specially crafted archives to extract contents outside the directory tree created by tar. A stack-based buffer overflow in the file name checking code may lead to arbitrary code execution when processing maliciously crafted archives.
cdb091cdc7a22e2e70fc77812d2d98bb673e8958c2eb906c42c3d283d52a525eMandriva Linux Security Advisory - Buffer overflow in the safer_name_suffix function in GNU cpio has unspecified attack vectors and impact, resulting in a crashing stack. This problem is originally found in tar, but affects cpio too, due to similar code fragments. Directory traversal vulnerability in cpio 2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in a cpio file. This is an old issue, affecting only Mandriva Corporate Server 4 and Mandriva Linux 2007.
