    Package : cabextract
    Vulnerability : missing directory sanitising
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CAN-2004-0916
    Debian Bug : 277522

    The upstream developers discovered a problem in cabextract, a tool to
    extract cabinet files. The program was able to overwrite files in
    upper directories. This could lead an attacker to overwrite arbitrary
    files.

    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.2-2b.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cabextract package.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
            will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
            will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
