  • tar (1.15.91-2ubuntu0.3) edgy-security; urgency=low
    
      * SECURITY UPDATE: files can be overwritten/renamed in any writable location
        in the filesystem via GNUTYPE_NAMES type.
      * src/extract.c: disable GNUTYPE_NAMES type processing by default since it
        allows for immediate symlink creation and renames.
      * src/common.h, src/tar.c: add --allow-name-mangling option to restore
        default behavior.
      * debian/rules: lowered optimization level on i386 for testcase #29.
