Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: perl-Archive-Tar security update

Notes

Topic
An updated perl-Archive-Tar package that fixes multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
The Archive::Tar module provides a mechanism for Perl scripts to manipulate tar archive files. Multiple directory traversal flaws were discovered in the Archive::Tar module. A specially-crafted tar file could cause a Perl script, using the Archive::Tar module to extract the archive, to overwrite an arbitrary file writable by the user running the script. (CVE-2007-4829) This package upgrades the Archive::Tar module to version 1.39_01. Refer to the Archive::Tar module's changes file, linked to in the References, for a full list of changes. Users of perl-Archive-Tar are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues. All applications using the Archive::Tar module must be restarted for this update to take effect.
