There is no fixed version for Debian:11 gnome-autoar.

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:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
