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. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CVE-2006-0300 [2] to the problem. ________________________________________________________________________ References: [0] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2005-06/msg00029.html [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0300 ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <openpkg (at) openpkg (dot) org [email concealed]>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the OpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and hkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
