(Ruby Archive::Tar::Minitar: Directory traversal)

    Michal Marek discovered that Ruby Archive::Tar::Minitar is vulnerable to
      a directory traversal vulnerability.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or an automated system to process
      a specially crafted archive using Ruby Archive::Tar::Minitar possibly
      allowing the writing of arbitrary files with the privileges of the
      process.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
