JIRA: http://jira.devtools.intel.com/browse/DEV1A-6397
Fix validation completed using the original PoC.
Prior to fix: crafted tar archive allowed path traversal and created files outside the target directory
After fix: extraction fails with "path traversal detected" error
Verified that no files are created outside the intended directory
Conclusion: The vulnerability is successfully mitigated.
