71023 | GNU patch util.c Directory Traversal Arbitrary File Creation GNU contains a flaw that allows a local attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via patches. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to create and modify arbitrary files. |
