Public bug reported:

Cleverly constructed key signature tarball can bypass signature check.
If tarball contains symbolic link to the directory outside of the working 
folder followed then by file based on this symbolic link , tar will follow the 
link and creates new file outside of the working folder, which is not desired 
and can alter behaviour of the system.
