    Package        : ark
    Version        : 4:20.12.2-1+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-57966

    A flaw was discovered in ark, an archive utility for the KDE platform. Ark
    extracted archives with absolute paths to the corresponding location on
    the user's file system. Absolute paths are now treated as relative paths to
    prevent overwriting of sensitive information.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    4:20.12.2-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ark packages.

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