A flaw was found in tar. A remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by crafting a malicious archive, leading to hidden file
injection with fully attacker-controlled content. This bypasses
pre-extraction inspection mechanisms, potentially allowing an attacker
to introduce malicious files onto a system without detection.
This update fixes the reported issue.
