Debian Security Advisory DSA 2863-1 (libtar - directory traversal). libtar allows programs to create, extract and test tar archives. A directory traversal attack was reported against libtar, a C library for manipulating tar archives. The application does not validate the filenames inside the tar archive, allowing to extract files in arbitrary path. An attacker can craft a tar file to override files beyond the tar_extract_glob and tar_extract_all prefix parameter
