Debian DLA-2180-1 : file-roller security update

low Nessus Plugin ID 135723

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.36.1 allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink to a directory outside of the intended extraction location.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.14.1-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your file-roller packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected file-roller package.
