3. Problem 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.
