NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnome-autoar package and not the gnome-autoar package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

autoar-extractor.c in GNOME gnome-autoar through 0.2.4, 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 to a directory outside of the intended extraction location.
