Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated tar packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The GNU tar program can save multiple files in an archive and restore files from an archive.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, when creating a PAX-format archive, the tar utility arbitrarily restricted the size of the representation of a sparse file to be less than 8 GB. An upstream patch has been backported to fix the bug. As a result, archiving of large sparse files is now handled properly. (BZ#1346666)
Users of tar are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
