Severity ?
Summary
An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the attacker's chosen file name (for example, a crafted file name), this can overwrite an attacker's content to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation when processing filenames with two or more newlines where selected content and the target file names are embedded in crafted multi-line file names. This flaw allows a remote, low privileged attacker to force zgrep to write arbitrary files on the system.

Cuando zgrep es aplicado sobre el nombre de archivo elegido por el atacante (por ejemplo, un nombre de archivo dise\u00f1ado), \u00e9ste puede sobrescribir el contenido de un archivo arbitrario seleccionado por el atacante. Este fallo es producido debido a una comprobaci\u00f3n insuficiente cuando son procesados nombres de archivo con dos o m\u00e1s l\u00edneas nuevas en los que el contenido seleccionado y los nombres de archivo de destino est\u00e1n insertados en nombres de archivo multil\u00ednea dise\u00f1ados. Este fallo permite a un atacante remoto poco privilegiado forzar a zgrep a escribir archivos arbitrarios en el sistema\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":8.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.8,\"impactScore\":5.9}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-20\"}]},{\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-179\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:gnu:gzip:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.12\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"AE211FFB-B5CC-4827-9430-D58DA7D9EF09\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:redhat:jboss_data_grid:7.0.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"CD354E32-A8B0-484C-B4C6-9FBCD3430D2D\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:10.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"07B237A9-69A3-4A9C-9DA0-4E06BD37AE73\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:tukaani:xz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.2.5\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B815FE77-341C-45D5-B7C5-5A828AE7764A\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-1271\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2073310\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Issue Tracking\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=69d1b3fc29677af8ade8dc15dba83f0589cb63d6\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Broken Link\"]},{\"url\":\"https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gzip/2022-04/msg00011.html\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Patch\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-1271\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202209-01\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20220930-0006/\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://tukaani.org/xz/xzgrep-ZDI-CAN-16587.patch\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/04/07/8\",\"source\":\"secalert@redhat.com\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]}]}}"
