+  <description>
+    <p>An integer overflow error within the “th_read()” function when
+      processing long names or link extensions can be exploited to cause a
+      heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted archive.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
+      using a program linked against libtar, possibly resulting in execution of
+      arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service
+      condition.
