Dist Debian Esm H88
Debian LTS Advisory DLA-2722-1 informs about a security update for drupal8, aimed at fixing possible threats.
The Drupal project uses the pear Archive_Tar library, which has released a security update that impacts Drupal

Summary

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that Drupal core's use of
the Archive_Tar library is not vulnerable, as it does not permit
symlinks.

Exploitation may be possible if contrib or custom code uses the
library to extract tar archives (for example .tar, .tar.gz, .bz2, or
.tlz) which come from a potentially untrusted source.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
7.52-2+deb9u16.

We recommend that you upgrade your drupal7 packages.

For the detailed security status of drupal7 please refer to
