Software Description:  - tar: GNU version of the tar archiving utility    Details:    Chris Siebenmann discovered that tar incorrectly handled extracting files  resized during extraction when invoked with the --sparse flag. An attacker  could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue  only affected Ubuntu 12.04 ESM, Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-20482)    Daniel Axtens discovered that tar incorrectly handled certain malformed  tar files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a  specially crafted tar archive, a remote attacker could use this issue to  cause tar to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-9923)    Update instructions:    The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following  package versions:    Ubuntu 20.10:    tar                             1.30+dfsg-7ubuntu0.20.10.1    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:    tar                             1.30+dfsg-7ubuntu0.20.04.1    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:    tar                             1.29b-2ubuntu0.2    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:    tar                             1.28-2.1ubuntu0.2    Ubuntu 14.04 ESM:    tar                             1.27.1-1ubuntu0.1+esm1    Ubuntu 12.04 ESM:    tar                             1.26-4ubuntu1.2    In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
