Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : cpio (MDVSA-2015:066)

low Nessus Plugin ID 82319

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing a security update.

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).

Solution

Update the affected cpio package.
