The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202008-03 (Ark: Arbitrary code execution)
A maliciously crafted archive with “../” in the file path(s) could install files anywhere in the user’s home directory upon extraction.
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted archive using Ark, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
Avoid opening untrusted archives.
