Vulnerability Name:

CCN-10888

Published:2002-12-16
Updated:2002-12-16
Summary:Multiple vendor file archivers (GNU cpio, Winzip Computing WinZip, PKWare PKZIP, Aladdin Systems (formerly Ontrack) ZipMagic, Eugene Roshal's WinRAR, Speedproject Squeez, and Speedproject (SpeedCommander) are vulnerable to a directory traversal that could allow a local attacker to overwrite and create files on the system. If an archived .tar file contains "dot dot" sequences or other path specifying characters in the file name, a local attacker could traverse directories on the system when the archive is extracted to overwrite and corrupt files or create Trojans on the system.
