Neutralize zip file traversal attacks in miniunz.
Archive formats such as .zip files are generally susceptible to
so-called "traversal attacks". This allows an attacker to craft
an archive that writes to unexpected locations of the file system
(e.g., /etc/shadow) if an unspecting root user were to unpack a
malicious archive.
This patch neutralizes absolute paths such as /tmp/moo and deeply
relative paths such as dummy/../../../../../../../../../../tmp/moo
The Debian project requested CVE-2014-9485 be allocated for the
first identified weakness. The fix was incomplete, resulting in a
revised patch applied here. Since there wasn't an updated version
released by Debian with the incomplete fix, I suggest we use this
CVE to identify both issues.
