Affected packages

• Packagist pear/archive_tar: < 1.4.11 → fixed in 1.4.11

Archive_Tar through 1.4.10 has `://` filename sanitization only to address phar attacks, and thus any other stream-wrapper attack (such as `file://` to overwrite files) can still succeed. See: https://github.com/pear/Archive_Tar/issues/33
