(CVE-2021-40153)\nsquashfs_opendir in unsquash-2.c in Squashfs-Tools 4.5 allows Directory\nTraversal, a different vulnerability than CVE-2021-40153. A squashfs\nfilesystem that has been crafted to include a symbolic link and then\ncontents under the same filename in a filesystem can cause unsquashfs to\nfirst create the symbolic link pointing outside the expected directory,\nand then the subsequent write operation will cause the unsquashfs process\nto write through the symbolic link elsewhere in the filesystem.\n(CVE-2021-41072)\n","status":"published","published":"2022-01-11T07:12:42Z","modified":"2026-04-16T04:44:42.85080701Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:49:41.849028Z"},{"id":"openSUSE-SU-2024:13035-1","title":"squashfs-4.6.1-2.1 on GA media","description":"These are all security issues fixed in the squashfs-4.6.1-2.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.","status":"published","published":"2024-06-15T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-02-04T04:02:37.640117Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T16:58:36.025801Z"},{"id":"RLSA-2024:3139","title":"Moderate: squashfs-tools security update","description":"SquashFS is a highly compressed read-only file system for Linux.
