RedHat: Moderate: tar security update
Summary
Summary
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.
