Debian LTS: DLA-2721-1: drupal7 security update
Summary
The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that Drupal core's use of
the Archive_Tar library is not vulnerable, as it does not permit
symlinks.
Exploitation may be possible if contrib or custom code uses the
library to extract tar archives (for example .tar, .tar.gz, .bz2, or
.tlz) which come from a potentially untrusted source.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
7.52-2+deb9u16.
We recommend that you upgrade your drupal7 packages.
For the detailed security status of drupal7 please refer to
