There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.
tarfile.data_filter could be bypassed using crafted link entries, including
symlinks with empty or directory-like names, to redirect later archive members
outside the intended extraction directory. This allowed a malicious tar archive
to cause tarfile.extractall() to write files outside the destination directory,
subject to the permissions of the extracting process.
