Summary     : A GNU file archiving program.
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. Tar
can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update
or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support,
automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform
remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full
backups.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

An updated tar package that fixes a path traversal flaw is now
available.

The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can
restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive.

In 2002, a path traversal flaw was found 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-2002-0399). A security advisory was released containing a
backported patch.

It was discovered that the backported security patch contained an
incorrect optimization and therefore was not sufficient to completely
correct this vulnerability. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2005-1918 to this issue.

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