Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.842147
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-2549-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libarchive' package(s) announced via the USN-2549-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libarchive' package(s) announced via the USN-2549-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that the libarchive bsdcpio utility extracted absolute
paths by default without using the --insecure flag, contrary to
expectations. If a user or automated system were tricked into extracting
cpio archives containing absolute paths, a remote attacker may be able to
write to arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-2304)

Fabian Yamaguchi discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled certain
type conversions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-0211)

Affected Software/OS:
'libarchive' package(s) on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.4

CVSS Vector:
