CVE Severity
Our Official Summary
This flaw allows an attacker to create a specially crafted tar file, which, when unpacked, may allow access to restricted files or directories. This issue can allow the creation or overwriting of files with the user's or application's privileges using the library. THere are controls in place to prevent direct access to the SQLite database in the container. Hence the probability of exploitation is low. Even if exploited, the attack surface is limited to the container which makes the risk lower. There are currently no known workarounds. We will upgrade to the latest versions with the fix, when that becomes available.
