Vulnerability in GnuPG (CVE-2026-105712)
Summary
Vulnerability in GnuPG (CVE-2026-105712). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
gpgtar in GnuPG before 2.5.19 can allow file overwrite via crafted data in an archive. When extracting an untrusted archive with --directory (aka -C) into an existing directory containing a pre-existing symlink, gpgtar can follow that symlink and create or overwrite a file outside the selected extraction directory. The write is limited by the extraction user's filesystem permissions. An archive extracted into a fresh empty directory does not have this risk.
