Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive.

If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install the rmt package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - CVE-2010-0624 tar, cpio: Heap-based buffer overflow by expanding a specially-crafted archive (#572149) - realloc within check_exclusion_tags() caused invalid write (#570591) - not closing file descriptors for excluded files/dirs with exlude-tag... options could cause descriptor exhaustion (#570591) - do not fail with POSIX 2008 glibc futimens() (#552320) - fix segfault with corrupted metadata in code_ns_fraction (#531441) - commented patches and sources - store xattrs for symlinks (#525992) - by Kamil Dudka - update tar(1) manpage (#539787) - fix memory leak in xheader (#518079) - store SELinux context for symlinks (#525992) - provide symlink manpage for gtar - do process install-info only without --excludedocs(#515923) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Mar 10 2010 Ondrej Vasik <ovasik@redhat.com> 2:1.22-5 - CVE-2010-0624 tar, cpio: Heap-based buffer overflow by expanding a specially-crafted archive (#572149) - realloc within check_exclusion_tags() caused invalid write (#570591) - not closing file descriptors for excluded files/dirs with exlude-tag... options could cause descriptor exhaustion (#570591) - do not fail with POSIX 2008 glibc futimens() (#552320) - fix segfault with corrupted metadata in code_ns_fraction (#531441) - commented patches and sources - store xattrs for symlinks (#525992) - by Kamil Dudka - update tar(1) manpage (#539787) - fix memory leak in xheader (#518079) - store SELinux context for symlinks (#525992) - provide symlink manpage for gtar - do process install-info only without --excludedocs(#515923) * Thu Jul 16 2009 Ondrej Vasik <ovasik@redhat.com> 2:1.22-4 - Fix restoring of directory default acls(#511145) - Do not patch generated autotools files - Do not sigabrt with new gcc/glibc because of writing to struct members of gnutar header at once via strcpy * Thu Jul 2 2009 Ondrej Vasik <ovasik@redhat.com> 2:1.22-3 - report record size only if the archive refers to a device (#487760) - ignore errors from setting utime() for source file on read-only filesystem (#500742) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #564368 - CVE-2010-0624 tar, cpio: Heap-based buffer overflow by expanding a specially-crafted archive https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564368 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
