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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest 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.
