Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker may be able to entice a user to open a specially |
48 |
crafted archive using GNU cpio, possibly resulting in execution of |
49 |
arbitrary code, a Denial of Service condition, or overwriting arbitrary |
50 |
files. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All GNU cpio users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/cpio-2.11-r3" |
