AI-suggested

1. Immediately audit all Mozart FM Transmitter devices to identify affected versions and disable or restrict access to the restore_mozzi_memories.sh script if possible. 2. Implement strict validation and sanitization of all uploaded tar archives to prevent path traversal, including rejecting archives with filenames containing '..' or absolute paths. 3. Apply any vendor-provided patches or updates as soon as they become available; if no patches exist, consider isolating vulnerable devices on segmented networks with strict access controls. 4. Monitor device logs and network traffic for suspicious file upload activity or unexpected file modifications, especially targeting system files like /etc/shadow or web directories. 5. Employ application whitelisting or integrity monitoring tools on transmitter devices to detect unauthorized file changes. 6. Restrict unauthenticated file upload capabilities by enforcing authentication and authorization controls. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focused on file upload and extraction functionalities. 8. Coordinate with DB Electronica Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. for timely vulnerability disclosures and remediation guidance.

Description

Arbitrary File Overwrite via Tar Extraction Path Traversal in DB Electronica Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. Mozart FM Transmitter versions 30, 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 3500, 6000, 7000 allows an attacker to perform Tar extraction with -C / allow arbitrary file overwrite via crafted archive. The `restore_mozzi_memories.sh` script extracts user-controlled tar archives with `-C /` flag, depositing contents to the filesystem root without path validation. When combined with the unauthenticated file upload vulnerabilities (CVE-01, CVE-06, CVE-07), attackers can craft malicious .tgz archives containing path-traversed filenames (e.g., `etc/shadow`, `var/www/index.php`) to overwrite critical system files in writable directories, achieving full system compromise.
