The remote MiracleLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2021-2652:02 advisory.

    * file-roller: directory traversal via directory symlink pointing outside of the target directory     (incomplete fix for CVE-2020-11736) (CVE-2020-36314)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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. (CVE-2020-11736)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the versions of the file-roller packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in GNOME file-roller before     3.29.91. It allows a single ./../ path traversal via a     filename contained in a TAR archive, possibly     overwriting a file during extraction.(CVE-2019-16680)

  - 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.(CVE-2020-11736)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has file-roller packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in GNOME file-roller before 3.29.91. It allows a single ./../ path traversal via a     filename contained in a TAR archive, possibly overwriting a file during extraction. (CVE-2019-16680)
