Description:
    Previous versions of the cpio and tar packages are vulnerable to a
    Denial of Service attack in which an attacker can use a malformed
    archive file to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, crashing the
    application.  It is not believed that this vulnerability can be
    exploited to execute malicious code.
