Detail

Updated cpio package fixes security vulnerability:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the process_copy_in function in GNU Cpio 2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large block value in a cpio archive (CVE-2014-9112).

Additionally, a null pointer dereference in the copyin_link function which could cause a denial of service has also been fixed.
