CVE-2020-36314
fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.38.0, as used by GNOME Shell and other software, allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink in certain complex situations.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
