## 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.
