Reportedly
Directory-Traversal Attack
An attacker can carry out directory-traversal attacks when the application processes malformed archives. A successful attack can allow the attacker to place potentially malicious files and overwrite files on a computer in the context of the user running the affected application. A successful exploit may aid in further attacks.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user-supplied input is validated and filtered before being used in file operations.
