Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201701-18
==========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2017-01-13
CVE-ID : CVE-2017-5330
Package : ark
Type : arbitrary command execution
Remote : No
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-130
Summary
=======
The package ark before version 16.12.1-1 is vulnerable to arbitrary
command execution.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 16.12.1-1.
# pacman -Syu "ark>=16.12.1-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 16.12.1.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
Opening an url with ark will call KRUN::runURL() which detects the
mime-type of the url and runs the appropriate service for that mimetype
when found. This leads to unintended execution of scripts and
executable files.
Impact
======
An attacker can execute arbitrary command on the affected host by
tricking a user into opening an executable file from an archive.
