Subject Name: tar Subject Summary: Un-/Packing of TAR Archive Files Subject Home: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ Subject Versions: * <= 1.15.1 Vulnerability Id: CVE-2006-0300, OSVDB:23371, BID:5834 Vulnerability Scope: global (not OpenPKG specific) Attack Feasibility: run-time Attack Vector: remote network Attack Impact: denial of service Description: According to a bug report from Jim Meyering [0], a remote overflow exists in the GNU Tape Archiver (Tar). GNU Tar fails to properly handle PAX extended headers resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted Tar format archive, an attacker can cause arbitrary command execution when the victim lists the Tar contents or extracts the archive.
