CVE-2021-38185 edited at 08 Aug 2021 07:36:24
Severity	- Unknown + Medium
Remote	- Unknown + Local
Type	- Unknown + Arbitrary command execution
Description	+ GNU cpio through 2.13 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted pattern file, because of a dstring.c ds_fgetstr integer overflow that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write. NOTE: it is unclear whether there are common cases where the pattern file, associated with the -E option, is untrusted data.
