Title: Fastjar Archive Extraction Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Fastjar is an implementation of the popular jar utility; it is implemented in C.
Fastjar is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the utility fails to properly sanitize user-supplied data.
The problem presents itself when extracting archive data. Since the utility fails to properly sanitize the data of directory-traversal strings, an attacker can write files to arbitrary locations.
The attacker can exploit this vulnerability to overwrite arbitrary files in the context of the user running the vulnerable application. Depending on the files overwritten, this could cause the system to crash or could facilitate unauthorized access; other attacks are also possible.
