Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51184
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:007
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2005:007.

The unarj program is an archiving utility which can extract ARJ-compatible
archives.

A buffer overflow bug was discovered in unarj when handling long file
names contained in an archive. An attacker could create a specially
crafted archive which could cause unarj to crash or possibly execute
arbitrary code when extracted by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0947 to
this issue.

Additionally, a path traversal vulnerability was discovered in unarj. An
attacker could create a specially crafted archive which would create files
in the parent (..) directory when extracted by a victim. When used
recursively, this vulnerability could be used to overwrite critical system
files and programs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1027 to this issue.

Users of unarj should upgrade to this updated package which contains
backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues.
