Title:RHSA-2006:0749: tar security update (Moderate)
Description:The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive.

  • Teemu Salmela discovered a path traversal flaw in the way GNU tar extracted archives. A malicious user could create a tar archive that could write to arbitrary files to which the user running GNU tar has write access. (CVE-2006-6097)

    Users of tar should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a replacement backported patch to correct this issue.
