(dot dot) in an extracted filename (CVE-2001-1267, CVE-2001-1268). In addition, unzip version 5.42 and earlier also allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via filenames in the archive that begin with the '/' (slash) character (CVE-2001-1269). During testing of the fix to GNU tar, we discovered that GNU tar 1.13.25 was still vulnerable to a modified version of the same problem. Red Hat has provided a patch to tar 1.3.25 to correct this problem (CVE-2002-0399).
