Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2013-4397 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (libtar), 13 status rows across 13 suites (lucid, precise, quantal, raring, saucy, trusty, upstream, utopic, vivid, wily, xenial, yakkety, zesty): not-affected 6, ignored 5, DNE 1, released 1.
Multiple integer overflows in the th_read function in lib/block.c in libtar before 1.2.20 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long (1) name or (2) link in an archive, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
