    Ingo Brckl discovered that cpio contained a path traversal vulnerability. If a user or automated system     were tricked into extracting a specially crafted cpio archive, an attacker could possibly use this issue     to write arbitrary files outside the target directory on the host, even if using the option --no-absolute-     filenames.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
