Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-045 - A directory traversal attack was reported against libtar, a C library for manipulating tar archives.

An attacker can craft a tar file to override files beyond the tar_extract_glob and tar_extract_all prefix parameter. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
