If a user were tricked into expanding a specially-crafted archive, it could cause the cpio executable to crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running cpio. (CVE-2010-0624) Red Hat would like to thank Jakob Lell for responsibly reporting the CVE-2010-0624 issue. A denial of service flaw was found in the way cpio expanded archive files.
