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.
