NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-652.NASL description 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. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 16236 published 2005-01-25 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/16236 title Debian DSA-652-1 : unarj - several vulnerabilities code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Debian Security Advisory DSA-652.
