Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53485
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-652-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'unarj' package(s) announced via the DSA-652-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'unarj' package(s) announced via the DSA-652-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in unarj, a non-free ARJ unarchive utility. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-0947

A buffer overflow has been discovered 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 being extracted by a victim.

CAN-2004-1027

A directory traversal vulnerability has been found so that an attacker could create a specially crafted archive which would create files in the parent directory when being extracted by a victim. When used recursively, this vulnerability could be used to overwrite critical system files and programs.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.43-3woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems don't apply since unstable/non-free does not contain the unarj package.

We recommend that you upgrade your unarj package.

Affected Software/OS:
'unarj' package(s) on Debian 3.0.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
10.0
