Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0860
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0860. The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. A path traversal flaw was discovered 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 had write access. (CVE-2007-4131) Red Hat would like to thank Dmitry V. Levin for reporting this issue. Users of tar should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a replacement backported patch to correct this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0860.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.8
