Detail
| Problem Description: An updated unarj package that fixes a buffer overflow vulnerability and a directory traversal vulnerability is now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 3. Problem description: The unarj program is an archiving utility which can extract ARJ-compatible archives. A buffer overflow bug was discovered in unarj when handling long file names contained in an archive. An attacker could create a specially crafted archive which could cause unarj to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when extracted by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0947 to this issue. Additionally, a path traversal vulnerability was discovered in unarj. An attacker could create a specially crafted archive which would create files in the parent ("..") directory when extracted by a victim. When used recursively, this vulnerability could be used to overwrite critical system files and programs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1027 to this issue. Users of unarj should upgrade to this updated package which contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 138462 - CAN-2004-0947 buffer overflow in unarj 138835 - CAN-2004-1027 unarj directory traversal issue |

| 11695 | unarj Filename Handling Overflow |
| 10788 | unarj Traversal Arbitrary File Overwrite The unarj utility has been reported to have a vulnerability related to traversal style attacks (/../) and uncompressing an archive. As reported, this would allow an attacker to overwrite any file the victim user has permission to write to. unarj (or tar or zip) allows full/absolute paths in archives and could be used in the same fashion, regardless of using traversal notation. This is a non-issue. |
