"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202010-06
(Ark: Arbitrary code execution)
It was discovered that Ark incorrectly handled symbolic links in tar
archive files.
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
archive using Ark, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.");
