CVE-2021-40153

Disclosure Date: August 27, 2021
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

squashfs_opendir in unsquash-1.c in Squashfs-Tools 4.5 stores the filename in the directory entry; this is then used by unsquashfs to create the new file during the unsquash. The filename is not validated for traversal outside of the destination directory, and thus allows writing to locations outside of the destination.
