+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A vulnerability has been found in cpio that can potentially allow
+ a cpio archive to extract its files to an arbitrary directory of the
+ creator's choice.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could create a malicious cpio archive which would
+ create files in arbitrary locations on the victim's system. This issue
+ could also be used in conjunction with a previous race condition
+ vulnerability (CAN-2005-1111) to change permissions on files owned by
+ the victim.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All cpio users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/cpio-2.6-r3"</code>
