vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.
- cpio: directory traversal through symlinks (CVE-2015-1197)
- cpio: out of bounds write (CVE-2016-2037)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the process_copy_in function in GNU Cpio 2.11 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service via a large block value in a cpio archive. (CVE-2014-9112)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package
is installed.");
