Date Reported:

19 Jul 2018

Affected Packages:

ant

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2018-10886.

More information:

unzip and untar target tasks in ant allows the extraction of files outside the target directory. A crafted zip or tar file submitted to an Ant build could create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running Ant.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.4-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ant packages.
