Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Ark could be made to remove files.

Software Description: - kdeutils: KDE general-purpose utilities

Details:

Tim Brown discovered that Ark did not properly perform input validation when previewing archive files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted archive file, an attacker could remove files via directory traversal.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10:
ark 4:4.7.1-0ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
ark 4:4.6.5-0ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 10.10:
ark 4:4.5.5-0ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
ark 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1.2

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all the necessary changes.

NOTE: In order to build KDE Utilities on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 10.10 and 11.04, it was necessary to rebuild portions of the KDE point release updates.

Id Description
74180 KDE kdeutils Ark Traversal Arbitrary File Deletion

KDE kdeutils Ark contains a flaw that allows a remote 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 .ZIP files. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to access and delete arbitrary files.
