Description:
* SECURITY UPDATE: tarfile PEP 706 "data"/"tar" extraction filter bypass
via a hard link to a symlink. A crafted archive whose hard link names a
symlink stored deeper in the archive made makelink_with_filter() call
os.link() on the unresolved source; link(2) does not follow symlinks, so
the extracted member became the same symlink inode under the hard link's
own, shallower name, where its relative payload re-bases outside the
destination. The chmod()/utime() that tarfile applies next then hit the
outside file, changing its mode and mtime, and its contents became
readable from inside the extracted tree (CWE-59).
- debian/patches/CVE-2026-82049.patch: backport of cpython
b8f23e307097552eaea2604383a12ab280520d0d (gh-157190, GH-157191,
GH-157192), the 3.13-branch form of the fix; the changed line and its
comment are upstream's verbatim, only re-anchored because this tree
has no "unlink an existing targetpath" step before os.link(). The
upstream regression test test_sneaky_hardlink_relocation is carried
too, minus the @symlink_test / @os_helper.skip_unless_hardlink
decorators and with os_helper.can_symlink() spelled
support.can_symlink(), neither of which exists in 3.7.
- The one-line fix closes only the variant where the archive carries a
decoy file at the outer name, so os.path.exists(tarinfo._link_target)
is true and extraction goes through os.link(). The decoy-less variant
never reaches os.link() at all; under the "data" filter it is rejected
by CVE-2026-11940.patch, already in this package, so the two must not
be separated.
- CVE-2026-82049
* The Misc/NEWS.d fragment of the upstream commit is omitted; this version
ships a single Misc/NEWS file.
