Description SMASH SMASH 2023-10-05 13:20:03 UTC

Plexis Archiver is a collection of Plexus components to create archives or
extract archives to a directory with a unified `Archiver`/`UnArchiver` API.
Prior to version 4.8.0, using AbstractUnArchiver for extracting an archive might
lead to an arbitrary file creation and possibly remote code execution. When
extracting an archive with an entry that already exists in the destination
directory as a symbolic link whose target does not exist - the `resolveFile()`
function will return the symlink's source instead of its target, which will pass
the verification that ensures the file will not be extracted outside of the
destination directory. Later `Files.newOutputStream()`, that follows symlinks by
default,  will actually write the entry's content to the symlink's target.
Whoever uses plexus archiver to extract an untrusted archive is vulnerable to an
arbitrary file creation and possibly remote code execution. Version 4.8.0
contains a patch for this issue.

Comment 2 Fridrich Strba 2023-10-06 13:53:11 UTC

I can submit upgrade quite quickly but once upgraded the plexus-archiver, the following packages need to be upgraded too:
- maven-archiver
- maven-assembly-plugin
- maven-dependency-plugin
- maven-jar-plugin
- maven-javadoc-plugin
- maven-plugin-tools
and
- tycho
