Subject: [wrynose][PATCH 2/3] python3: fix CVE-2026-11940
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:00:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706-fix-cves-python-wrynose-v1-2-b53e09c2b62a@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706-fix-cves-python-wrynose-v1-0-b53e09c2b62a@bootlin.com>
tarfile.extractall() with the 'data' or 'tar' filter could be bypassed
by a crafted archive where a hardlink references a symlink stored at a
deeper name than the hardlink itself.
