Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:066
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : cpio
Date : March 27, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated cpio package fixes security vulnerability:

In GNU Cpio 2.11, the --no-absolute-filenames option limits
extracting contents of an archive to be strictly inside a current
directory. However, it can be bypassed with symlinks. While extracting
an archive, it will extract symlinks and then follow them if they
are referenced in further entries. This can be exploited by a rogue
archive to write files outside the current directory (CVE-2015-1197).
