therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0861 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-11940:
    tarfile.extractall() with the 'data' or 'tar' filter could be bypassed by a crafted archive where a
    hardlink references a symlink stored at a deeper name than the hardlink itself. The extraction fallback
    validated the symlink at its archived location but recreated it at the hardlink's shallower path, letting
    a relative target the filter judged contained escape the destination directory. This allowed a malicious
    tar archive to create a symlink pointing outside the destination, enabling out-of-destination file reads
    or writes. This was an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-4330.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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