CVE-2026-29509

Patool before 4.0.5 is vulnerable to a path traversal in the safe_extract() function (patoolib/programs/py_tarfile.py). The is_within_directory() helper uses character-level comparison via os.path.commonprefix(), not path-level checks, allowing a crafted archive member path to bypass containment ...

SUSE 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 it's archived location but recreated it at the hardlink's shallower...
