Description: 
 tar        - GNU tar
Changes: 
 tar (1.15.1-2ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * SECURITY UPDATE: Arbitrary code execution with crafted tar files.
   * src/xheader.c:
     - Add a new function decode_num() which wraps xstrtoumax() and adds
       boundary and sanity checking.
     - Use decode_num() instead of xstrtoumax() in the code to avoid buffer
       overflows on excessively large field values like GNU.sparse.numblocks.
     - Patch taken from upstream CVS.
   * CVE-2006-0300
