CVE-2011-5325 [HIGH] BusyBox vulnerabilities
Title: BusyBox vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in BusyBox.
Tyler Hicks discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled symlinks inside tar
archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted tar archive, a remote attacker could overwrite arbitrary
files outside of the current directory. This issue only affected Ubuntu
14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2011-5325)
Mathias Krause discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled kernel module
loading restrictions. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to
bypass intended restrictions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2014-9645)
It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled certain ZIP archives. If
a user or automated system were tricked into processing a

CVE-2022-23227 [HIGH] CWE-306 GHSA-5f63-p3w5-jphc: NUUO NVRmini2 through 3
NUUO NVRmini2 through 3.11 allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload an encrypted TAR archive, which can be abused to add arbitrary users because of the lack of handle_import_user.php authentication. When combined with another flaw (CVE-2011-5325), it is possible to overwrite arbitrary files under the web root and achieve code execution as root.

CVE-2011-5325 [HIGH] CVE-2011-5325 busybox: Path traversal via crafted tar file containing symlink
CVE-2011-5325 busybox: Path traversal via crafted tar file containing symlink
A path traversal vulnerability was found in Busybox implementation of tar. tar will extract a symlink that points outside of the current working directory and then follow that symlink when extracting other files. This allows for a directory traversal attack when extracting untrusted tarballs.
