Title:	Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2006:183571-1
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory FLSA-2006:183571-1. 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. Affected platforms: Redhat 7.3 Redhat 9 Fedora Core 1 Fedora Core 2 Solution: http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=FLSA-2006:183571-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
