IZArc extract error directory traversal
| izarc-extract-directory-traversal (26039) |  Low Risk |
Description:
IZArc could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories. Archived files compressed with RAR, TAR, ZIP, JAR or .GZ are not validated when extracted. A remote attacker could create a malicious archive file using an extension of .rar, .tar, .zip, .jar, or .gz with specially-crafted path names containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) which, once extracted, could allow the attacker to traverse directories and overwrite files on the system.
Consequences:
File Manipulation
Remedy:
No remedy available as of July 9, 2011.
