Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1211504
CVE-2015-0480 OpenJDK: jar directory traversal issues (Tools, 8064601)
Last modified: 2015-06-11 09:22:01 EDT
A directory traversal flaw was found in jar, The Java Archive Tool. Relative paths containing '..' or absolute paths used for files stored in a specially-crafted jar archive could cause the jar tool to overwrite arbitrary files when the archive was extracted. With this update, jar strips leading '/' or path prefix that contains '..'. New command line option -P can be used to revert back to the old insecure behavior which preserves absolute paths and paths with '..'. This issue was reported multiple times in the past and already got CVE-2005-1080 (bug 606442) assigned. This CVE is a duplicate of the old 2005 id.
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2015. Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u95, 7u79, and 8u45. External References: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpuapr2015-2365600.html#AppendixJAVA
This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Via RHSA-2015:0807 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0807.html
This fix is documented as notable change in Oracle Java SE release notes, such as: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u45-relnotes-2494160.html Area: tools/jar Synopsis: Improve jar file handling Starting with JDK 8u45 release, the jar tool no longer allows the leading slash "/" and ".." (dot-dot) path component in zip entry file name when creating new and/or extracting from zip and jar file. If needed, the new command line option "-P" should be used explicitly to preserve the dot-dot and/or absolute path component. See 8064601 (not public).
