49 <p>
50 By enticing a user to extract a specially crafted tar archive, a remote
51 attacker could extract files to arbitrary locations outside of the
52 specified directory with the permissions of the user running GNU Tar.

55 <workaround>
56 <p>
57 There is no known workaround at this time.

63 </p>
64 <code>
65 # emerge --sync
66 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/tar-1.18-r2&quot;</code>
