+    libelf: Fix dir traversal vuln in ar extraction.
+    
+    read_long_names terminates names at the first '/' found but then skips
+    one character without checking (it's supposed to be '\n'). Hence the
+    next name could start with any character including '/'. This leads to
+    a directory traversal vulnerability at the time the contents of the
+    archive is extracted.
+    
+    The danger is mitigated by the fact that only one '/' is possible in a
+    resulting filename and only in the leading position. Hence only files
+    in the root directory can be written via this vuln and only when ar is
+    executed as root.
+    
+    The fix for the vuln is to not skip any characters while looking
+    for '/'.
