Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-02-12 14:47:47 UTC 
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way tar and 
cpio archive manipulation tools expanded archives with certain
character in the archive name. If a local user was tricked into
expanding a specially-crafted archive, it could cause the tar,
cpio executables to crash or, potentially, to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the utility.
