Title:	CentOS Update for libtar CESA-2013:1418 centos6
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtar'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtar' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The libtar package contains a C library for manipulating tar archives. The library supports both the strict POSIX tar format and many of the commonly used GNU extensions. Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way libtar handled certain archives. If a user were tricked into expanding a specially-crafted archive, it could cause the libtar executable or an application using libtar to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-4397) Note: This issue only affected 32-bit builds of libtar. Red Hat would like to thank Timo Warns for reporting this issue. All libtar users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. Affected Software/OS: libtar on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
