 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : tar
 Date    : November 28, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
           Multi Network Firewall 2.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 GNU tar 1.16 and 1.15.1, and possibly other versions, allows
 user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a tar file
 that contains a GNUTYPE_NAMES record with a symbolic link, which is not
 properly handled by the extract_archive function in extract.c and
 extract_mangle function in mangle.c, a variant of CVE-2002-1216.

 The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
