Subject: When doing an SQLAR archive extraction in the CLI, postpone creating symlinks until... 
X-Git-Tag: version-3.52.0~42
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9dac613f0437952476d977409318c456d1d2dd3e;p=thirdparty%2Fsqlite.git

When doing an SQLAR archive extraction in the CLI, postpone creating symlinks until after
all files and directories have been created.  This prevents a hostile archive from
creating a symlink through which it can subsequently write content outside of the target
directory.  [forum:forumpost/9e176adfef91c207|Forum post 9e176adfef91c207].
