Debian Security Advisory DSA-1566-1 security@debian.org

Package : cpio
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-4476
Dmitry Levin discovered a vulnerability in path handling code used by
the cpio archive utility. The weakness could enable a denial of
service (crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a
vulnerable version of cpio is used to extract or to list the contents
of a maliciously crafted archive.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6-18.1+etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your cpio packages.
