Description

Compressed files using the XZ and LZMA formats can be created, extracted, and handled with command-line tools and libraries. This is useful for archives, source packages, backups, and software distribution workflows.

Compressed archives can contain untrusted paths or data, and decompression can consume disk space quickly. Inspect sources and output locations before extracting unknown files.
