…ythonGH-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 5784119) Co-authored-by: Petr Viktorin <encukou@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Gregory P. Smith <greg@krypto.org>

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.
