<description>
<p>An integer overflow error within the “th_read()” function when
processing long names or link extensions can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted archive.

</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
using a program linked against libtar, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service
condition.

</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All libtar users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libtar-1.2.20-r2"
</code>
