"According to the versions of the perl-Archive-Tar packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Archive::Tar versions before 3.08 for Perl extract symlinks with attacker controlled targets outside the
    extraction directory.

    _make_special_file() passes the tar header's linkname to symlink() without validating it against absolute
    paths or .. segments. The secure-extract mode check that guards regular file extraction does not cover the
    symlink target.

    A subsequent open through the extracted name reads or writes the attacker chosen path.(CVE-2026-42496)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS perl-Archive-Tar security advisory.

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