[3.13] gh-149486: tarfile.data_filter: validate written link target (GH-149487) (GH-149555)
* gh-149486: tarfile.data_filter: validate written link target (GH-149487) The data filter rewrote linknames with normpath() but ran the containment check against the un-normalised value, and computed a symlink's directory before stripping trailing slashes. Both let a crafted archive create links pointing outside the destination. Also reject link members that resolve to the destination directory itself, which could otherwise replace it with a symlink and redirect all subsequent members. (Patch by Greg; Petr's just reviewing & merging.) (cherry picked from commit 578411982c16f753f4893532510099ef665117da) Co-authored-by: Petr Viktorin <encukou@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Gregory P.
