tag_summary = "Perl Archive::Tar module is prone to a directory-traversal
vulnerability because it fails to validate user-supplied data.

A successful attack can allow the attacker to overwrite files on a
computer in the context of the user running the affected application.
Successful exploits may aid in further attacks.

Note that all applications using Perl Archive::Tar module may
be affected.";
