Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in aria2, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to the application not properly sanitising the "name" attribute of the "file" element of metalink files before using it to download files. If a user is tricked into downloading from a specially crafted metalink file, this can be exploited to download files to directories outside of the intended download directory via directory traversal attacks. aria2 version 1.9.1 build2 is affected.
