Neutralize zip file traversal attacks in miniunz.
Archive formats such as .zip files are generally susceptible to so-called "traversal attacks". This allows an attacker to craft an archive that writes to unexpected locations of the file system (e.g., /etc/shadow) if an unspecting root user were to unpack a malicious archive. This patch neutralizes absolute paths such as /tmp/moo and deeply relative paths such as dummy/../../../../../../../../../../tmp/moo The Debian project requested CVE-2014-9485 be allocated for the first identified weakness. The fix was incomplete, resulting in a revised patch applied here. Since there wasn't an updated version released by Debian with the incomplete fix, I suggest we use this CVE to identify both issues.
