Two CVEs are used here.
While the bugs have the same technical impact - accessing files outside of
an intended directory - the root causes and vulnerability types are
different. 774434 does not handle when symlink destinations point outside
the directory. 774435 is a protection mechanism failure in which an
attempt is made to protect against directory traversal by removing a
leading slash, but not considering that there can be multiple leading
slashes.
