# Security fix for CVE-2026-79655
Fixes a path traversal vulnerability in `sos clean` tar extraction where unvalidated symlink and hardlink
targets could lead to arbitrary file writes during archive processing.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
