Changelog for tar-1.23-owl4.x86_64.rpm :

* Sat Dec 04 2010 Solar Designer 1.23-owl4- Adjusted tests/truncate.at for its inherent yet undesirable race condition tobe less likely triggered, and to use less disk space (2 MB instead of 500 MB).
* Sun Mar 21 2010 Solar Designer 1.23-owl3- Fixed a couple of bugs in tests/extrac07.at.- Updated the documentation on --rsh-command to reflect the lack of default.
* Sat Mar 20 2010 Dmitry V. Levin 1.23-owl2- Updated to release_1_23-7-g340dbf5 snapshot to fix regressionsintroduced in 1.23 release.- Changed --rsh-command to have no default as proposed by Solar Designer.If this option is not given, then the \"remote functionality\" is nowdisabled. If a filename looks like it is \"remote\" and neither the--rsh-command nor the --force-local option is given, then tar will failwith an error.
* Thu Mar 11 2010 Dmitry V. Levin 1.23-owl1- Updated to 1.23.
* Tue Dec 08 2009 Solar Designer 1.22.90-owl3- Corrected highly non-optimal memory allocation bycanonicalize_filename_mode(), which got exposed with an unrelated changemade shortly before the 1.22.90 alpha release.
* Tue Aug 25 2009 Dmitry V. Levin 1.22.90-owl2- Fixed tests/xform-h.at.
* Mon Aug 17 2009 Solar Designer 1.22.90-owl1- Updated to 1.22.90.- Extracted Dmitry V. Levin\'s latest changes from ALT Linux\'s repository athttp://git.altlinux.org/gears/t/tar.git and forward-ported them from upstreamcode slightly newer than 1.22 to the 1.22.90 alpha release.- Since most of our error handling fixes have been replaced by more elaboratechanges by Sergey Poznyakoff in the upstream code, the new error handlingpatch has been reduced to forward-ports of two fixes that seem to have beenmissed upstream, as well as a new fix that became relevant with 1.22.90.- Dropped the --ignore-device-id option (in favor of its official name of--no-check-device).
* Tue Dec 23 2008 Solar Designer 1.20-owl4- A further change to the error handling patch: when creating incrementalarchives, validate the filenames passed as input to tar incollect_and_sort_names(), but have the first call to dump_file() assume thatwe\'re not at the top level, as explained in a newly added lengthy comment.
* Sun Nov 23 2008 Solar Designer 1.20-owl3- Further improvements to the error handling patch:When creating incremental archives, don\'t wrongly tell the dump_file()function that we are at the top level.When a file shrinks while being archived, only set the exit status toTAREXIT_DIFFERS if no other non-zero exit status was previously specified.
* Fri Nov 14 2008 Solar Designer 1.20-owl2- When creating archives, consistently don\'t treat disappearing directoryentries as a fatal error.

CVE CAN-2002-0399 applies to theimplementation bug in 1.13.19 to 1.13.25, but isn\'t yet public.- Fixed another 1.13.19\'s bug which effectively disabled the symlink safetyintroduced in 1.13.18; this avoids the problem described by Willy TARREAUwhere tar could be made to follow a symlink it just extracted and place afile outside of the intended directory tree:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=90674255917321- Finally, back-ported the fix for the hard link storage bug with 1.13.19discovered by Jose Pedro Oliveira (at least not security this time):https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/roswell-list/2001-August/001286.html
