+ <background>
+ <p>R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>The native R package installation mechanisms do not sufficiently validate installed source packages for path traversal.</p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>Installation of a malicious R package could result in an arbitrary file overwrite which could result in arbitrary code execution, as might be seen with the overwrite of an authorized_keys file.</p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All R users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
