+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could construct a malicious tar archive that
+    could potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+    user running GNU tar.

+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.

+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/tar-1.15.1-r1&quot;</code>
