Doc Text:
A flaw was found in .NET's System.Formats.Tar library. When extracting a specially crafted TAR archive containing symbolic links, the TarFile.ExtractToDirectory() method may incorrectly follow those links and write files outside the intended extraction directory. An attacker could exploit this issue to create or overwrite files in locations accessible to the extracting process, potentially leading to unauthorized file modification.
