Description Kurt Seifried 2015-01-26 07:34:50 UTC
Jakub Wilk reports:

Package: archmage
Version: 1:0.2.4-3
Tags: security

archmage is vulnerable to directory traversal via "../" sequences. As a 
proof of concept, unpacking the attached CHM file creates a file in 
/tmp:

$ ls /tmp/mooo
/bin/ls: cannot access /tmp/mooo: No such file or directory
$ archmage -x traversal.chm
$ ls /tmp/mooo
/tmp/mooo
