Synopsis:	Moderate: star security update

Issue date:	2007-09-04

CVE Names:	CVE-2007-4134



A path traversal flaw was discovered in the way star extracted archives. A

malicious user could create a tar archive that would cause star to write to

arbitrary files to which the user running star had write access.

(CVE-2007-4134)



As well, this update adds the command line argument "-.." to the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 3 version of star. This allows star to extract files

containing "/../" in their pathname.
