Fedora 27: FEDORA-2018-6c55e1f79c High: Plexus-Archiver Path Traversal

The Plexus project seeks to create end-to-end developer tools for

writing applications. At the core is the container, which can be

embedded or for a full scale application server. There are many

reusable components for hibernate, form processing, jndi, i18n,

velocity, etc. Plexus also includes an application server which

is like a J2EE application server, without all the baggage.

Security fix: arbitrary file write vulnerability / arbitrary code execution

using a specially crafted zip file (CVE-2018-1002200) A path traversal

vulnerability has been discovered in plexus-archiver when extracting a carefully

crafted zip file which holds path traversal file names. A remote attacker could

use this vulnerability to write files outside the target directory and overwrite

existing files with malicious code or vulnerable configurations. Red Hat would

like to thank Danny Grander (Snyk) for reporting this issue. External
