GNU TAR <= 1.15.91 and CPIO <= 2.5.90 safer_name_suffix Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

No description provided by source. source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/26445/info GNU's tar and cpio utilities are prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because of insecure use of the 'alloca' function. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to crash the affected utilities...
