Description Andrej Nemec 2018-01-16 15:09:47 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in the build script of obs-build. It is possible to exploit the extractbuild script to write to files in the host system, in case of a vm build. This can be used, for instance, to replace a running bs_worker with arbitrary code.
