Issue: Fix base directory while extracting insecure TAR files
State: closed
Author: albertvillanova

This PR fixes the extraction of insecure TAR files by changing the base path against which TAR members are compared:
- from: "."
- to: `output_path`

This PR also adds tests for extracting insecure TAR files.

Related to:
- #5441
- #5452

@stas00 please note this PR addresses just one of the issues you pointed out: the use of the cwd by the extractor. The other issues (actionable error messages, raise instead of log error) should be addressed in other PRs.
