CVE-2023-52138

Engrampa is an archive manager for the MATE environment. Engrampa is found
to be vulnerable to a Path Traversal vulnerability that can be leveraged to
achieve full Remote Command Execution (RCE) on the target. While handling
CPIO archives, the Engrampa Archive manager follows symlink, cpio by
default will follow stored symlinks while extracting and the Archiver will
not check the symlink location, which leads to arbitrary file writes to
unintended locations. When the victim extracts the archive, the attacker
can craft a malicious cpio or ISO archive to achieve RCE on the target
system. This vulnerability was fixed in commit 63d5dfa.
