<background>

<p>Ark is a graphical file compression/decompression utility with support
|
|
for multiple formats.

<description>
|
|
<p>A vulnerability was discovered in how Ark handles executable files while
|
|
browsing a compressed archive. A user could unintentionally execute a
|
|
malicious script which has the executable bit set inside of the archive.
|
|
This is due to Ark not displaying what files are executable and running
|
|
the associated applications for the file type upon execution.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker, by coercing a user to browse a malicious archive file
|
|
within Ark and execute certain files, could execute arbitrary code with
|
|
the privileges of the user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>All Ark users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-apps/ark-16.08.3-r1"
|
|
</code>
