CISA-2021-38185 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.8 HIGH

Reported by mitre · Published August 7, 2021

GNU cpio through 2.13 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted pattern file, because of a dstring.c ds_fgetstr integer overflow that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write. NOTE: it is unclear whether there are common cases where the pattern file, associated with the -E option, is untrusted data.
