+ Dmitry V. Levin discovered a directory traversal vulnerability in the
+ contains_dot_dot() function in file src/names.c.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to extract a specially crafted tar archive, a remote
+ attacker could extract files to arbitrary locations outside of the
+ specified directory with the permissions of the user running GNU Tar.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GNU Tar users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/tar-1.18-r2"</code>
