How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable file-roller to version 3.36.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.36.1 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.
