Hello! Due to a full-disclosure email, I opened the following bug in savanah: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?18355
I proposed a patch there to disable GNUTYPE_NAMES handling by default, adding an option "--allow-name-mangling" to re-enable it. Since GNUTYPE_NAMES can't be created by tar any more, and it doesn't seem designed to allow for symlink creation delay, this seemed like a sensible solution. Thoughts on this? Thanks! -- Kees Cook
