Background
Ark is a graphical file compression/decompression utility with support for multiple formats.
Description
It was discovered that Ark incorrectly handled symbolic links in tar archive files.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted archive using Ark, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All KDE Ark users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-apps/ark-20.04.3-r2"
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gentoo | any | all | kde-apps/ark | < 20.04.3-r2 | UNKNOWN |
