Type:

Severity:

Description:
- CVE-2026-87910: tarfile ignored a filter's None ("skip this member") answer in the hard-link extraction fallback (CWE-59). The guard CVE-2026-11940 added to TarFile.makelink_with_filter() re-runs the filter on the referenced member re-rooted at the link's own, shallower name, but only reacted to the exceptions that extra call could raise and discarded its return value. A PEP 706 filter may also return None to mean "skip this member"; that answer was ignored, the second call made with the member's own name still succeeded, and the member was written at the link's path anyway - so a filter that downgrades FilterError to None did not stop the escape CVE-2026-11940 was meant to close. - debian/patches/CVE-2026-87910.patch: backport of cpython 9c17bace90f88dfba6d0e2fe23c8e7ae35f83955 (gh-157265), which keeps the first filter call's result and returns early when it is None, plus its regression test test_extract_filters_target_none. Applied after CVE-2026-11940.patch, whose guard it fixes; the two must not be separated or reordered. - CVE-2026-19672: tarfile 'tar'/'data' extraction filters created directories outside the destination for a member whose name leaves the destination and comes back (CWE-22). _get_filtered_attrs() checks containment on the resolved path, so a name such as '../evil/../dest/sub/file' passes, but the intermediate directories are created from the name as given and walk out of the destination on the way, leaving attacker-chosen directories next to it. POSIX only. - debian/patches/CVE-2026-19672.patch: backport of cpython 97688346ada2df3e5b9c279348862c3d64ab0823 (gh-155999), which normalizes a member name containing a '..' component before the containment check, plus its regression test test_parent_dir_out_and_back. Applied after CVE-2026-87910.patch.
