ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1787311430 advisory.

  - 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 it's 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. (CVE-2026-11940)

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