Subject:		UnixWare 7.1.4 UnixWare 7.1.3 : cpio race condition and directory traversal issues fixed.
Advisory number: 	SCOSA-2005.32
Issue date: 		2005 August 18
Cross reference:	sr893934 fz532333 erg712854 CAN-2005-1111 CAN-2005-1229

1. Problem Description

	A race condition in cpio 2.6 and earlier allows local users
	to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link
	attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose
	permissions are changed by cpio after the decompression
	is complete. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the name CAN-2005-1111 to this issue 

	A directory traversal vulnerability in cpio 2.6 and earlier 
	allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary directories 
	via a .. (dot dot) in a cpio file. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
	assigned the name CAN-2005-1229 to this issue
