Summary
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.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.14.1-1+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your file-roller packages.
