GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way cpio expanded
archive files. If a user were tricked into expanding a specially-crafted
archive, it could cause the cpio executable to crash or execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running cpio. (CVE-2010-0624)
Red Hat would like to thank Jakob Lell for responsibly reporting the
CVE-2010-0624 issue.
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way cpio expanded large
archive files. If a user expanded a specially-crafted archive, it could
cause the cpio executable to crash. This issue only affected 64-bit
platforms. (CVE-2005-4268)
Users of cpio are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains backported patches to correct these issues.
