Jakub Wilk discovered a directory traversal flaw in the Archive::Tar module, allowing an attacker to overwrite any file writable by the extracting user via a specially crafted tar archive. For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 5.20.2-3+deb8u11. For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 5.24.1-3+deb9u4. We recommend that you upgrade your perl packages. For the detailed security status of perl please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/perl
