Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-245-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'p7zip' package(s) announced via the DLA-245-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'p7zip' package(s) announced via the DLA-245-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Alexander Cherepanov discovered that p7zip is susceptible to a directory traversal vulnerability. While extracting an archive, it will extract symlinks and then follow them if they are referenced in further entries. This can be exploited by a rogue archive to write files outside the current directory. For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 9.04~ dfsg.1-1+deb6u1. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy) and stable distribution (jessie), this problem will be fixed soon. Affected Software/OS: 'p7zip' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
