CVE-2019-16680

Se detectó un problema en GNOME file-roller versiones anteriores a 3.29.91. Permite un único salto de ruta (path) ./../ por medio de un nombre de archivo contenido en un archivo TAR, posiblemente sobrescribiendo un archivo durante la extracción.

A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in the file-roller (Archive Manager for GNOME) in the way file paths with special characters are sanitized. Archives containing the sequence of characters "../" in a file path may be vulnerable to this flaw. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted archive with a file inside one or more sub-directories. When opened by a victim, the file-roller would extract the file in the current working directory instead of a sub-directory, as it may be expected by inspecting the archive.
