--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification FEDORALEGACY-2006-183571-1 Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183571 2006-03-15 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : tar Versions : rh73: tar-1.13.25-4.7.2.legacy Versions : rh9: tar-1.13.25-11.1.legacy Versions : fc1: tar-1.13.25-12.1.legacy Versions : fc2: tar-1.13.25-14.1.legacy Summary : A GNU file archiving program. Description : The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full backups. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: An updated tar package that fixes a path traversal flaw is now available. The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. In 2002, a path traversal flaw was found in the way GNU tar extracted archives. A malicious user could create a tar archive that could write to arbitrary files to which the user running GNU tar has write access (CVE-2002-0399). A security advisory was released containing a backported patch. It was discovered that the backported security patch contained an incorrect optimization and therefore was not sufficient to completely correct this vulnerability. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2005-1918 to this issue. Users of tar should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a replacement backported patch to correct this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changelogs rh73: * Tue Mar 07 2006 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.13.25-4.7.2.legacy - Updated security fix for CVE-2005-1918 rh9: * Tue Mar 07 2006 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.13.25-11.1.legacy - Updated security fix for CVE-2005-1918 fc1: * Tue Mar 07 2006 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.13.25-12.1.legacy - Updated security fix for CVE-2005-1918 fc2: * Wed Mar 08 2006 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.13.25-14.1.legacy - Updated security fix for CVE-2005-1918 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedoralegacy.org/ (sha1sums) rh73: 57d5b198335bcb254ff49b26b60b2ded6fdc3c29 redhat/7.3/updates-testing/i386/tar-1.13.25-4.7.2.legacy.i386.rpm aec36c77c75a882b3c44a61fa61c23ff204ef4e5 redhat/7.3/updates-testing/SRPMS/tar-1.13.25-4.7.2.legacy.src.rpm rh9: df30641462702e447ac80e5e71db048e039cc378 redhat/9/updates-testing/i386/tar-1.13.25-11.1.legacy.i386.rpm 27e7678d52f44d3872047c5b05c6dfd751c2a806 redhat/9/updates-testing/SRPMS/tar-1.13.25-11.1.legacy.src.rpm fc1: 0caee4057c9325f93ac327e1a4d067fee8b1a744 fedora/1/updates-testing/i386/tar-1.13.25-12.1.legacy.i386.rpm 458a1d96fdf8f580b5702a7243f7653d8c581ac6 fedora/1/updates-testing/SRPMS/tar-1.13.25-12.1.legacy.src.rpm fc2: 5565230fd52a82671b69a9310883a25f7844b8a6 fedora/2/updates-testing/i386/tar-1.13.25-14.1.legacy.i386.rpm 864f986b64392dacaec2bde2c42339a4e6bd7e35 fedora/2/updates-testing/SRPMS/tar-1.13.25-14.1.legacy.src.rpm --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please test and comment in bugzilla.
