|
||
|

Jim Meyering discovered a flaw in the handling of certain header
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
listing the contents of an archive.

|

|
|
A remote attacker could construct a malicious tar archive that
|
||
|
|
could potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
|
||
|
|
user running GNU tar.
