RedhatCVELIST:CVE-2005-1918CVE-2005-1918
The original patch for a GNU tar directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2002-0399) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 2.1 uses an “incorrect optimization” that allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted tar file, probably involving “/…/” sequences with a leading “/”.
