"GNU cpio through 2.13 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
crafted pattern file, because of a dstring.c ds_fgetstr integer
overflow that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write. NOTE: it is
unclear whether there are common cases where the pattern file,
associated with the -E option, is untrusted data.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
