CVE-2005-2541 1 Gnu 1 Tar 2021-06-18 10.0 HIGH N/A
Tar 1.15.1 does not properly warn the user when extracting setuid or setgid files, which may allow local users or remote attackers to gain privileges.
CVE-2007-4476 3 Canonical, Debian, Gnu 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Tar 2021-05-17 7.5 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in the safer_name_suffix function in GNU tar has unspecified attack vectors and impact, resulting in a "crashing stack."
CVE-2006-0300 1 Gnu 1 Tar 2018-10-19 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
Buffer overflow in tar 1.14 through 1.15.90 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute code via unspecified vectors involving PAX extended headers.
CVE-2005-1918 2 Gnu, Redhat 4 Tar, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 1 more 2018-10-19 2.6 LOW N/A
The original patch for a GNU tar directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2002-0399) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 2.1 uses an "incorrect optimization" that allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted tar file, probably involving "/../" sequences with a leading "/".
CVE-2002-0399 1 Gnu 1 Tar 2018-10-19 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU tar 1.13.19 through 1.13.25, and possibly later versions, allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via a (1) "/.." or (2) "./.." string, which removes the leading slash but leaves the "..", a variant of CVE-2001-1267.
CVE-2006-6097 1 Gnu 1 Tar 2018-10-17 4.0 MEDIUM N/A
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.
CVE-2007-4131 3 Gnu, Redhat, Rpath 4 Tar, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 1 more 2018-10-15 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in the contains_dot_dot function in src/names.c in GNU tar allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via certain //.. (slash slash dot dot) sequences in directory symlinks in a TAR archive.
CVE-2010-0624 1 Gnu 2 Cpio, Tar 2018-10-10 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmt_read__ function in lib/rtapelib.c in the rmt client functionality in GNU tar before 1.23 and GNU cpio before 2.11 allows remote rmt servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending more data than was requested, related to archive filenames that contain a : (colon) character.
CVE-2002-1216 1 Gnu 1 Tar 2016-10-18 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
GNU tar 1.13.19 and other versions before 1.13.25 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack, as the result of a modification that effectively disabled the security check.
CVE-2001-1267 1 Gnu 1 Tar 2008-09-05 2.1 LOW N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU tar 1.13.19 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via a tar file whose filenames contain a .. (dot dot).
