Fariskhi Vidyan discovered that the PEAR Archive_Tar package for
handling tar files in PHP is prone to a PHP object injection
vulnerability, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:1.10.1+submodules+notgz-9+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your php-pear packages.
