Description Vincent Danen 2010-05-13 17:11:53 UTC
Secunia Research reported [1] a flaw in aria2.  From their advisory:

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in aria2, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application not properly
sanitising the "name" attribute of the "file" element of metalink
files before using it to download files. If a user is tricked into
downloading from a specially crafted metalink file, this can be
exploited to download files to directories outside of the intended
download directory via directory traversal attacks.

Version 1.9.3 is indicated as being fixed, via changeset 2097 [2].

This issue has been given the name CVE-2010-1512.
