Description:
- CVE-2026-82049: tarfile 'data'/'tar' extraction filter bypass via a hard link to a
symbolic link (CWE-59). TarFile.makelink_with_filter() passed
tarinfo._link_target straight to os.link(); link(2) does not follow symbolic
links, so an archive storing a hard link whose target is an archived symlink
got the same symlink inode materialised one directory shallower than the
symlink the filter had validated. Its relative body then re-based outside the
destination directory, and the chmod()/utime() applied to the newly created
name followed the link onto the outside file, changing its permissions and
modification time and exposing its contents inside the extracted tree.
- debian/patches/CVE-2026-82049.patch: backport of cpython
b8f23e307097552eaea2604383a12ab280520d0d (gh-157190), which resolves the
hard-link source with os.path.realpath() before os.link(), plus its
regression test test_sneaky_hardlink_relocation. Sufficient only in
combination with CVE-2026-11940, already applied here, which blocks the
no-decoy variant that never reaches os.link(); the two must not be separated.
