"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1929 advisory.

    tarfile.extractall() with the 'data' or 'tar'filter could be bypassed by a crafted archive where a
    hardlinkreferences a symlink stored at a deeper name than the hardlink itself.The extraction fallback
    validated the symlink at it's archived locationbut recreated it at the hardlink's shallowerpath, letting a
    relativetarget the filter judged contained escape the destination directory.This allowed a malicious tar
    archive to create a symlink pointingoutside the destination, enabling out-of-destination file reads
    orwrites. This was an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-4330. (CVE-2026-11940)

    unicodedata.normalize() can take excessive CPU time when processing specially crafted Unicode input
    containing long runs of combining characters with alternating Canonical Combining Class values. This
    affects all normalization forms. (CVE-2026-3276)

    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. (CVE-2026-7774)

    The ftpcp() function in Lib/ftplib.py was not updated whenCVE-2021-4189 was fixed. While makepasv() was
    patched to replaceserver-supplied PASV host addresses with the actual peer address(getpeername()[0]),
    ftpcp() still calls parse227() directly and passesthe raw attacker-controllable IP address and port to
    target.sendport(). This patch is related to CVE-2021-4189. (CVE-2026-8328)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
