A file-roller security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS to address a Directory Traversal during extraction.

DLA 2180-1: file-roller security update

Package : file-roller
Version : 3.14.1-1+deb8u2
CVE ID : CVE-2020-11736
Debian Bug : 956638

fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.36.1 allows
Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of
whether a file's parent is a symlink to a directory outside of the
intended extraction location.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.14.1-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your file-roller packages.
