It was discovered that file-roller, an archive manager for GNOME, does not properly handle the extraction of archives with a single ./../ in a file path. An attacker able to provide a specially crafted archive for processing can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite files if a user is dragging a specific file or map to a location to extract to.

It was discovered that File Roller incorrectly handled certain TAR files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite sensitive files during extraction.
