Vulnerability Type: Dir. Trav. 
CWE ID: CWE-22
Summary: Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in pigz 2.3.1 allow remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a (1) full pathname or (2) .. (dot dot) in an archive.
Commit Message: When decompressing with -N or -NT, strip any path from header name.

This uses the path of the compressed file combined with the name
from the header as the name of the decompressed output file.  Any
path information in the header name is stripped.  This avoids a
possible vulnerability where absolute or descending paths are put
in the gzip header.
