An arbitrary file write vulnerability was discovered in plexus-archiver, the archiver plugin for the Plexus modular compiler system.

A specially-crafted .zip file could overwrite any file on disk, leading to a privilege esclation.



For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0~alpha12-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your plexus-archiver packages.
