Summary
Updated libtar package fixes security vulnerability
Details

A directory traversal attack was reported against libtar, a C library for manipulating tar archives. The application does not validate the filenames inside the tar archive, allowing to extract files in arbitrary path. An attacker can craft a tar file to override files beyond the tarextractglob and tarextractall prefix parameter (CVE-2013-4420).
