Package name tar
Date November 28th, 2006
Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:219
Affected versions CS3.0, MNF2.0, 2006.0, 2007.0, CS4.0

Problem Description

GNU tar 1.16 and 1.15.1, and possibly other versions, allows
user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a tar file
that contains a GNUTYPE_NAMES record with a symbolic link, which is not
properly handled by the extract_archive function in extract.c and
extract_mangle function in mangle.c, a variant of CVE-2002-1216.

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
