    Package : tar
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-6321
    Debian Bug : 842339

    Harry Sintonen discovered that GNU tar does not properly handle member
    names containing '..', thus allowing an attacker to bypass the path
    names specified on the command line and replace files and directories in
    the target directory.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.27.1-2+deb8u1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.29b-1.1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your tar packages.
