Description

Problem Description: Flaws in libarchive's handling of symlinks and hard links allow overwriting files outside the extraction directory, or permission changes to a directory outside the extraction directory. Impact: An attacker who can control freebsd-update's or portsnap's input to tar(1) can change file content or permissions on files outside of the update tool's working sandbox.
