CVE-2011-2725: Path Traversal
First published: Tue Jul 26 2011(Updated: )
A path traversal flaw was found in the way Ark, the tool for managing various archive formats within the KDE environment, processed certain Zip archives. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted Zip archive, which once opened in the Ark GUI frontend would lead to arbitrary file being opened or, potentially, if the local victim provided correct user credentials could allow that file to be removed.
