Description Pedro Sampaio 2023-08-10 21:01:06 UTC

From: Georgi Guninski <gguninski () gmail com>
Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2023 13:32:17 +0300

Affected: GNOME Files 43.4 (nautilus) on fedora 37

Description:

If an user A opens in GNOME files zip archive containing
`setuid` file F, then F will be silently extracted to
a subdirectory of CWD.

If F is accessible by hostile local user B and B executes F,
then F will be executed as from user A.

tar(1) and unzip(1) are not vulnerable to this attack.

Session for creating the ZIP.
After that just open f.zip in GNOME files.
