NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cpio package and not the cpio package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A path traversal vulnerability was found in the CPIO utility. This issue could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted archive. During the extraction process, the archiver could follow symlinks outside of the intended directory, this allows writing files in arbitrary directories through symlinks.
