Fedora 27: 2018-10ae521efa Critical: perl-Archive-Tar Directory Traversal

Archive::Tar provides an object oriented mechanism for handling tar

files. It provides class methods for quick and easy files handling

while also allowing for the creation of tar file objects for custom

manipulation. If you have the IO::Zlib module installed, Archive::Tar

will also support compressed or gzipped tar files.

This release fixes CVE-2018-12015 vulnerability (a directory traversal). It also

fixes creating a file with a trailing white space on the file name. It also

allows to archive absolute path names and it speeds up extracting large

archives.
