IZARC Archive Extraction Directory Traversal
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://www.izarc.org/> IZArc is the ultimate archive utility supports
many archive formats."
Improper validation of path inside archive files allows attackers to
execute a directory traversal attack using IZArc.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* IZArc version 3.5 beta 3 and prior
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when
extracting files compressed with GZ (*.gz), JAR(*.jar), RAR(*.rar),
ZIP(*.zip), TAR(*.tar) .
This makes it possible to have files extracted to arbitrary locations
outside the specified directory using the "../" directory traversal
sequence.
