Subject: [PATCH] Avoid directory traversal when extracting archives

Description of the vulnerability from the NIST CVE tracker [1]:

    Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the (1)
    tar_extract_glob and (2) tar_extract_all functions in libtar 1.2.20
    and earlier allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via
    a .. (dot dot) in a crafted tar file.

Imported from the Debian libtar package 1.2.20-8 [2]. Original Debian
description:

    Author: Raphael Geissert <geissert@debian.org>
    Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/731860
    Description: Avoid directory traversal when extracting archives
    by skipping over leading slashes and any prefix containing ".." components.
    Forwarded: yes

meta-openembedded uses Debian's release tarball [3]. Debian uses
repo.or.cz/libtar.git as their upstream [4]. repo.or.cz/libtar.git has
been inactive since 2013 [5].
