CVE-2020-7667: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

June 23, 2021 (updated February 16, 2023)

In package github.com/sassoftware/go-rpmutils/cpio before version 0.1.0, the CPIO extraction functionality does not sanitize the paths of the archived files for leading and non-leading “..” which leads in file extraction outside of the current directory. Note: the fixing commit was applied to all affected versions which were re-released.
