A malicious remote tape server could cause a buffer overflow in tar.
In order to exploit that an attacker would have to trick the victim to extract a file that causes tar to open a connection to the rmt server (CVE-2010-0624). Itโ€™s advisable to always use tarโ€™s --force-local local option to avoid such tricks.
