CVE-2011-5325

Published: 7 August 2017

Directory traversal vulnerability in the BusyBox implementation of tar before 1.22.0 v5 allows remote attackers to point to files outside the current working directory via a symlink.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
bionic only contains first commit
adding the second commit to bionic introduced a regression in
debootstrep, see LP: #1737662
new third commit mostly reverses second commit
two new commits are now available that possibly fix further
symlink issues
