I'm suspecting that this CVE is already fixed by Richard W.M. Jones. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487132 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 487132 ***
Yes, you're right. When I went looking I didn't find the other issue. Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
Created attachment 335174 [details] patch from Debian to fully correct the issue Actually, it just came to my attention that this is more than just an absolute path traversal issue, and that using "../" works as well, which the patch noted in bug #487132 fails to address. I'm going to attach the patch that Debian is planning to use, although updating to 3.0 will also correct the issue.
