      "value": "GNU cpio contains a Path Traversal vulnerability in its tar archive extraction functionality. When extracting a tar archive in copy-in mode with the --no-absolute-filenames option, the extracted file name is normalized but the tar hard-link target is passed to the link_to_name function without equivalent sanitization before calling link function. A tar archive provided by an attacker, containing a hard-link entry whose linkname is set to an absolute path outside the extraction directory, can cause cpio to create a hard link to an existing file outside the intended extraction directory, breaking the expected guarantee of --no-absolute-filenames and allowing archive-controlled linkage to external files.\n\nThis issue has been fixed in commit e2b9cbdd3354d2b1569b7390d1bc15c1930559ad"

      "value": "GNU cpio contiene una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en su funcionalidad de extracción de archivos tar. Al extraer un archivo tar en modo de copia de entrada (copy-in mode) con la opción --no-absolute-filenames, el nombre del archivo extraído se normaliza, pero el objetivo del enlace duro (hard-link target) de tar se pasa a la función link_to_name sin una sanitización equivalente antes de llamar a la función link. Un archivo tar proporcionado por un atacante, que contiene una entrada de enlace duro (hard-link entry) cuyo linkname está configurado a una ruta absoluta fuera del directorio de extracción, puede hacer que cpio cree un enlace duro a un archivo existente fuera del directorio de extracción previsto, rompiendo la garantía esperada de --no-absolute-filenames y permitiendo el enlace controlado por el archivo a archivos externos.\n\nEste problema ha sido solucionado en el commit e2b9cbdd3354d2b1569b7390d1bc15c1930559ad"
