How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest file-roller to version 3.38.1-1 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.38.0, as used by GNOME Shell 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-2020-11736.
