GNU Tar Dot_Dot Function Remote Directory Traversal Vulnerability

GNU Tar is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the application fails to validate user-supplied data.

A successful attack can allow the attacker to overwrite files on a computer in the context of the user running the affected application. Successful exploits may aid in further attacks.
