Bug 768828 – <app-arch/gnome-autoar-0.3.0: Directory traversal (CVE-2020-36241)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2021-02-05 08:51:57 UTC]

Description:
"autoar-extractor.c in GNOME gnome-autoar through 0.2.4, as used by GNOME Shell, Nautilus, and other software, 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."

Patch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-autoar/-/commit/adb067e645732fdbe7103516e506d09eb6a54429

Not yet in a release.
