Description:   Opened: 2008-04-01 13:03 0000 
CVE-2008-1568 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-1568):
  comix 3.6.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a filename
  containing shell metacharacters that are not properly sanitized when
  executing the rar, unrar, or jpegtran programs.

------- Comment #1 From Robert Buchholz 2008-04-01 13:22:56 0000 ------- 
See also here for an upstream comment:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430635#c1

Quoting Tomas Hoger:
Additionally, comix seems to use python's tarfile module to extract tar
archives.  This module has known directory traversal issues (CVE-2007-4559),
which were never fixed upstream.  Tar archive with malicious content can be
used
to overwrite arbitrary file writable by user running comix.

I grabbed two patches from fedora (
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/comix/F-8/ ) and added
media-gfx/comix-3.6.4-r1 to the tree. This will hopefully fix this problem.

------- Comment #3 From Robert Buchholz 2008-04-04 02:18:15 0000 ------- 
looks good, thank you.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
