(GNU cpio: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU cpio:
The list_file function in GNU cpio contains a heap-based buffer
overflow vulnerability (CVE-2014-9112)
A directory traversal vulnerability has been found in GNU cpio
(CVE-2015-1197)
Impact :
A remote attacker may be able to entice a user to open a specially
crafted archive using GNU cpio, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code, a Denial of Service condition, or overwriting arbitrary
files.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time."
