    Package        : ark     Version        : 4:20.12.2-1+deb11u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-57966

    A flaw was discovered in ark, an archive utility for the KDE platform. Ark     extracted archives with absolute paths to the corresponding location on     the user's file system. Absolute paths are now treated as relative paths to     prevent overwriting of sensitive information.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     4:20.12.2-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ark packages.

    For the detailed security status of ark please refer to     its security tracker page at:
