Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2015.0150
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0150)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'arj' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0150 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'arj' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0150 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated arj package fixes security vulnerabilities:

ARJ follows symlinks when unpacking stuff, even the symlinks that were created
during the same unpack process, making it vulnerable to a directory traversal
(CVE-2015-0556).

To protect from directory traversals, ARJ strips leading slash from the path
when unpacking, but this protection can be easily bypassed by adding more than
one leading slash to the path (CVE-2015-0557).

ARJ is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing a specially crafted arj
file (CVE-2015-2782).

Affected Software/OS:
'arj' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5

CVSS Vector:
