advisory.

  - squashfs_opendir in unsquash-2.c in Squashfs-Tools 4.5 allows Directory Traversal, a different
    vulnerability than CVE-2021-40153. A squashfs filesystem that has been crafted to include a symbolic link
    and then contents under the same filename in a filesystem can cause unsquashfs to first create the
    symbolic link pointing outside the expected directory, and then the subsequent write operation will cause
    the unsquashfs process to write through the symbolic link elsewhere in the filesystem. (CVE-2021-41072)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
