A vulnerability has been discovered in the tar package that could allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files through crafted files.

For Debian 7 β€˜Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 1.26+dfsg-0.1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tar packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
