I. Background The libarchive(3) library provides a flexible interface for reading and writing streaming archive files such as tar(1) and cpio(1), and has been the basis for the FreeBSD implementation of the tar(1) and cpio(1) utilities since FreeBSD 5.3. II. Problem Description The cpio(1) tool from the libarchive(3) bundle is vulnerable to a directory traversal problem via absolute paths in an archive file. III. Impact A malicious archive file being unpacked can overwrite an arbitrary file on a filesystem, if the owner of the cpio process has write access to it. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Perform one of the following: 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. Reboot is not required. 2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install Reboot is not required. 3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in . VI.
