How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 file-roller to version 3.36.1-1ubuntu0.1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 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.
