A vulnerability was discovered in php-pear, which provides core packages from the PHP Extension and Application Repository. Tar.php in Archive_Tar allows write operations with Directory Traversal due to inadequate checking of symbolic links, a related issue to CVE-2020-28948. An attacker could escalate privileges by overwriting files outside the extraction directory through a crafted .tar archive.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.10.1+submodules+notgz-9+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your php-pear packages.

For the detailed security status of php-pear please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/php-pear
