GNOME Autoar: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

GNOME Autoar: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A vulnerability has been found in GNOME Autoar that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. gnome-autoar 2021-05-26 2021-05-26 768828 777126 local, remote 0.3.1 0.3.1

GNOME Autoar provides functions and widgets for GNOME applications which want to use archives as a method to transfer directories over the internet.

It was discovered that GNOME Autoar could extract files outside of the intended directory.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted archive using GNOME Autoar, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All GNOME Autoar users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/gnome-autoar-0.3.1"
