<impact type="normal">
<p>
By enticing a user to extract a specially crafted tar archive, a remote
attacker could extract files to arbitrary locations outside of the
specified directory with the permissions of the user running GNU Tar.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>

</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/tar-1.18-r2"</code>
</resolution>
