Synopsis:          Moderate: libtar security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2013:1418-1
Issue Date:        2013-10-10
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-4397
--

Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way libtar handled
certain archives. If a user were tricked into expanding a specially-
crafted archive, it could cause the libtar executable or an application
using libtar to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2013-4397)

Note: This issue only affected 32-bit builds of libtar.
