If you cannot patch yet, users should avoid importing untrusted .zrp archives containing symbolic links in notes.txt files. Monitoring vendor channels for updates and applying patches once released is recommended.
Description
radare2 prior to 6.1.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its project notes handling that allows attackers to read or write files outside the configured project directory by importing a malicious .zrp archive containing a symlinked notes.txt file. Attackers can craft a .zrp archive with a symlinked notes.txt that bypasses directory confinement checks, allowing note operations to follow the symlink and access arbitrary files outside the dir.projects root directory.
