CVE-2015-0552
Directory traversal vulnerability in the gcab_folder_extract function in libgcab/gcab-folder.c in gcab 0.4 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via crafted path in a CAB file, as demonstrated by "\tmp\moo."
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.79%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
