=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-506-1            August 28, 2007
tar vulnerability
CVE-2007-4131
==========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  tar                             1.15.1-2ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 6.10:
  tar                             1.15.91-2ubuntu0.4

Ubuntu 7.04:
  tar                             1.16-2ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Dmitry V. Levin discovered that tar did not correctly detect the ".."
file path element when unpacking archives.  If a user or an automated
system were tricked into unpacking a specially crafted tar file, arbitrary
files could be overwritten with user privileges.
