Synopsis
tar bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated tar packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The tar packages provide the GNU tar utility, which allows the user to save
multiple files in one archive and can restore the files from that archive.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- When the "--strip-components" command-line parameter was used, the tar utility
was unable to correctly match a file name that had to be extracted and the
action failed. This bug has been fixed and tar now matches file names as
expected in the described scenario. (BZ#875727)
- When the "--listed-incremental" command-line parameter was used and a file
was specified multiple times, tar terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation
fault. The underlying source code has been modified and tar no longer crashes
under these circumstances. (BZ#877769)
All users of tar are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
