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.
