Detail
Product: Solaris 9, Solaris 10, OpenSolaris Two security vulnerabilities have been found in the GNU tar gtar(1)archiving program bundled with Solaris 9, Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. The first issue is a directory traversal vulnerability that may allow a local or remote unprivileged user who provides a specially crafted archive to overwrite arbitrary files which the user executing gtar(1) has permission to modify. The second issue is a buffer overflow which may allow a local or remote unprivileged user who provides a specially crafted tar archive to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user executing gtar(1) or to cause gtar(1) to crash. The ability to cause a program crash is a type of Denial of Service (DoS). Additional information regarding these issues is available at:
