Path traversal in github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs | < 0.8.0 | 0.8.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
It is currently possible for path traversal to occur with DAGs containing relative paths during retrieval. This can cause files to be overwritten, or written to incorrect output directories. The issue can only occur when `ipfs get` is done on an affected DAG.
1. The only affected command is `ipfs get`.
2. The gateway is not affected.
### Patches
Traversal fix patched in https://github.com/whyrusleeping/tar-utils/commit/20a61371de5b51380bbdb0c7935b30b0625ac227
`tar-utils` patch applied to go-ipfs via https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/commit/b7ddba7fe47dee5b1760b8ffe897908417e577b2
### Workarounds
Upgrade to go-ipfs 0.8 or later.
