Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in cpio, which can lead to arbitrary
code execution.

Background
==========

cpio is a file archival tool which can also read and write tar files.

Affected packages
=================

Package Vulnerable Unaffected
------------- ------------ ------------
app-arch/cpio < 2.13-r1 >= 2.13-r1

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in cpio. Please review the
CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

GNU cpio allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted
pattern file, because of a dstring.c ds_fgetstr integer overflow that
triggers an out-of-bounds heap write. NOTE: it is unclear whether there
are common cases where the pattern file, associated with the -E option,
is untrusted data.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All cpio users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/cpio-2.13-r1"
