Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-01-09 14:33:01 UTC 
It was reported [1] that jar(1) is susceptible to a directory traversal vulnerability. While extracting an archive, it will happily use absolute and relative paths taken from the archive. This can be exploited by a malicious archive to write files outside the current directory.

This issue might be relevant to the (incomplete) fix of CVE-2005-1080. Please note that CVE-2005-1080 talks about .. only.
