Description william 2001-02-21 12:40:13 UTC

tar Ixvf does not perform proper argument checking and segfaults if not given an additional argument.  Giving the proper arguments exits with "tar: too many args with -T option"

Fix: 

Change line 327 of /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/tar/tar.c

from

to
"-01234567Ab:BcC:df:F:g:GhiI:jkK:lL:mMnN:oOpPrRsStT:[AuUvV:wWxX:yzZ",
How-To-Repeat: tar Ixvf quux
