## Description

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Solr.
Solr instances running on Windows are vulnerable to arbitrary filepath
write-access, due to a lack of input-sanitation in the "configset upload"
API.  Commonly known as a "zipslip", maliciously constructed ZIP files can
use relative filepaths to write data to unanticipated parts of the
filesystem.
This issue affects Apache Solr: from 6.6 through 9.7.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.8.0, which fixes the issue.
Users unable to upgrade may also safely prevent the issue by using Solr's
"Rule-Based Authentication Plugin" to restrict access to the configset
upload API, so that it can only be accessed by a trusted set of
administrators/users.
