Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202204-7 ========================================= Severity: High Date : 2022-04-07 CVE-ID : CVE-2022-1271 Package : gzip Type : arbitrary command execution Remote : No Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-2666 Summary ======= The package gzip before version 1.12-1 is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1.12-1. # pacman -Syu "gzip>=1.12-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.12. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== Malicious filenames with two or more newlines can make zgrep and xzgrep to write to arbitrary files or (with a GNU sed extension) lead to arbitrary code execution. The issue with the old code is that with multiple newlines, the N-command will read the second line of input, then the s-commands will be skipped because it's not the end of the file yet, then a new sed cycle starts and the pattern space is printed and emptied. So only the last line or two get escaped. Impact ====== An attacker is able to provide malicious filenames to write to arbitrary files or execute arbitrary commands on the affected host.
