tar - A GNU file archiving program

Description:

The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can
restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar
can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update
or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support,
automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform
remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full
backups.

If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install
the rmt package on the remote box.

Packages

- Backport upstream fix for CVE-2026-5704 (file injection hidden from -t)
- Fix --one-top-level with absolute path (broken by the CVE-2025-45582 fix)
  Also fixes CVE-2026-18508 (escape from --one-top-level via hardlinks).
- Upstream fix for build with libacl 2.4.0
- Backport upstream patches for CVE-2026-18477, fixes a bug
  where incremental restore with cyclic renames between backups
  may create a temporary directory at an archive-controlled path
  outside the extraction tree.
  The fix for CVE-2025-45582 already prevents exploiting
  this problem, so it is more a correctness and hardening change.
