Debian LTS: DLA-2307-1: ruby-zip security update
Summary
rubyzip gem version 1.2.1 and earlier contains a Directory Traversal
vulnerability in Zip::File component that can result in write
arbitrary files to the filesystem.
This attack appear to be exploitable via if a site allows
uploading of .zip files, an attacker can upload a malicious file
that contains symlinks or files with absolute pathnames "../"
to write arbitrary files to the filesystem..
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.2.0-1.1+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-zip packages.
For the detailed security status of ruby-zip please refer to
