Severity: Normal
Title: Tar: Extract pathname bypass
Date: November 22, 2016
Bugs: #598334
ID: 201611-19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
A path traversal attack in Tar may lead to the remote execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
The Tar program provides the ability to create and manipulate tar
archives.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 app-arch/tar < 1.29-r1 >= 1.29-r1
Description
===========
Tar attempts to avoid path traversal attacks by removing offending
parts of the element name at extract. This sanitizing leads to a
vulnerability where the attacker can bypass the path name(s) specified
on the command line.
Impact
======
The attacker can create a crafted tar archive that, if extracted by the
victim, replaces files and directories the victim has access to in the
target directory, regardless of the path name(s) specified on the
command line.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Tar users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=app-arch/tar-1.29-r1”
