CVE-2022-32287: Apache UIMA prior to 3.3.1 has a path traversal vulnerability when extracting (PEAR) archives

[Richard Eckart de Castilho <rec () apache org>]

Severity: low

Description:

A relative path traversal vulnerability in a FileUtil class used by the PEAR management component of Apache UIMA allows 
an attacker to create files outside the designated target directory using carefully crafted ZIP entry names. This issue 
affects Apache UIMA Apache UIMA version 3.3.0 and prior versions. 

Note that PEAR files should never be installed into an UIMA installation from untrusted sources because PEAR archives 
are executable plugins that will be able to perform any actions with the same privileges as the host Java Virtual 
Machine.
