Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for sos.
CVE-2026-79655[0]:
| A flaw was found in sos clean, a utility within the sos package.
| This vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform arbitrary file
| creation or overwrite. By crafting a malicious tar archive, an
| attacker can exploit a path traversal issue during tar extraction,
| where symlink and hardlink targets are not properly validated. This
| enables the attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on the
| system with the privileges of the sos clean process, which often
| runs as root.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
