Descriptions

It was found that icedtea-web up to and including 1.7.2 and 1.8.2 was vulnerable to a zip-slip attack during auto-extraction of a JAR file. An attacker could use this flaw to write files to arbitrary locations. This could also be used to replace the main running application and, possibly, break out of the sandbox.

Se descubrió que icedtea-web hasta 1.7.2 y 1.8.2 inclusive, era vulnerable para un ataque zip slip durante la extracción automática de un archivo JAR. Un atacante podría usar este defecto para escribir archivos a localizaciones arbitrarias. Esto podría ser usado para reemplazar la aplicación principal en ejecución y salir de la caja de arena.

It was found that icedtea-web was vulnerable to a zip-slip attack during auto-extraction of a JAR file. An attacker could use this flaw to write files to arbitrary locations. This could also be used to replace the main running application and, possibly, break out of the sandbox.

An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available. This update for icedtea-web fixes the following issues. Fixed an issue where an attacker could inject unsigned code in a signed JAR file. Fixed a path traversal issue where an attacker could upload arbitrary files by tricking a victim into running a specially crafted application. Fixed an issue where an attacker could write files to arbitrary locations during JAR auto-extraction.
