Bug 777126 – <app-arch/gnome-autoar-0.3.1: Directory traversal (CVE-2021-28650)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2021-03-19 03:50:20 UTC]

Description:
"autoar-extractor.c in GNOME gnome-autoar before 0.3.1, as used by GNOME Shell, Nautilus, and other software, allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink in certain complex situations. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-36241."
