> USN-8139-1: cargo-c vulnerability

[LANGUAGE: EN]
It was discovered that tar-rs embedded in cargo-c incorrectly handled
symlinks when unpacking a tar archive. If a user or automated system were
tricked into processing a specially crafted tar archive, a remote attacker
could use this issue to modify permissions of arbitrary directories outside
the extraction root, and possibly escalate privileges.
