Descriptions

GNU tar 1.16 and 1.15.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a tar file that contains a GNUTYPE_NAMES record with a symbolic link, which is not properly handled by the extract_archive function in extract.c and extract_mangle function in mangle.c, a variant of CVE-2002-1216.

GNU tar 1.16 y 1.15.1, y posiblemente otras versiones, permiten a un atacante con la intervención del usuario sobreescribir ficheros de su elección a través del fichero tar que contiene un registro GNUTYPE_NAMES con un enlace simbólico, lo cual no se maneja de forma adecuada por la función extract_archive en extract.c y la función extract_mangle en mangle.c, un variante de CVE-2002-1216.
