Package        : file-roller
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-16680

It was discovered that file-roller, an archive manager for GNOME, does
not properly handle the extraction of archives with a single ./../ in a
file path. An attacker able to provide a specially crafted archive for
processing can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite files if a user
is dragging a specific file or map to a location to extract to.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed
in version 3.22.3-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your file-roller packages.

For the detailed security status of file-roller please refer to its
security tracker page at:
