Description Tomas Hoger 2015-04-14 07:48:48 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2015-04-14 19:44:34 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u95, 7u79, and 8u45.

Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2015-04-14 20:57:29 UTC 
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).
