Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in arj, an open source version of the arj archiver. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2015-0556 Jakub Wilk discovered that arj follows symlinks created during unpacking of an arj archive. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a directory traversal attack if a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted arj archive.

  • CVE-2015-0557 Jakub Wilk discovered that arj does not sufficiently protect from directory traversal while unpacking an arj archive containing file paths with multiple leading slashes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to write to arbitrary files if a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted arj archive.

  • CVE-2015-2782 Jakub Wilk and Guillem Jover discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in arj. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running arj.
