43 <p>
44 Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security team discovered a directory
45 traversal vulnerability in the has_dotdot() function which does not
46 identify //.. (slash slash dot dot) sequences in file names inside tar
47 files.
48 </p>
49 </description>
50 <impact type="low">
51 <p>
52 By enticing a user to extract a specially crafted tar archive, a remote
53 attacker could extract files to arbitrary locations outside of the
54 specified directory with the permissions of the user running Star.
55 </p>
56 </impact>
57 <workaround>
58 <p>
59 There is no known workaround at this time.
60 </p>
61 </workaround>
62 <resolution>
63 <p>
64 All Star users should upgrade to the latest version:
65 </p>
66 <code>
67 # emerge --sync
68 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/star-1.5_alpha84&quot;</code>
