Slackware alert SSA:2006-335-01 (tar)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] tar (SSA:2006-335-01) New tar packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11.0 to fix a security issue. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6097 Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/tar-1.16-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to tar-1.16. This fixes an issue where files may be extracted outside of the current directory, possibly allowing a malicious tar archive, when extracted, to overwrite any of the user's files (in the case of root, any file on the system). For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6097 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
