Package: tar
Version: 1.16-1
Severity: critical
Tags: sarge, sid, upstream, security
There is a directory traversal bug in GNU tar as described in
http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2006-November/050812.html
which means the creation and overwriting of files outside the expected
directory without using -P.
I could reproduce this security flaw in Sarge (tar 1.14-2.2) as well
in Sid (tar 1.16-1), so it probably is also in the version in Etch.
