[slackware-security]  tar (SSA:2023-083-01)

New tar packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 15.0,
and -current to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/tar-1.34-i586-2_slack15.0.txz:  Rebuilt.
  GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read that results in use
  of uninitialized memory for a conditional jump. Exploitation to change the
  flow of control has not been demonstrated. The issue occurs in from_header
  in list.c via a V7 archive in which mtime has approximately 11 whitespace
  characters.
  Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
  For more information, see:
    https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-48303
  (* Security fix *)
