Vulnerability in Apache Storm (CVE-2018-8008)

Summary

Vulnerability in Apache Storm (CVE-2018-8008). Data can be tampered with by attackers.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose an arbitrary file write vulnerability, that can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z), that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.
