Package: tar
Version: 1.13.25-3
When run inside a CGI, "tar cfz /path/to/uncreatable/tarball.tar.gz
/unreadable/path" will go into an infinite loop. This is best illustrated with
the following CGI:
#!/usr/bin/perl
exec('strace tar cfz /nnn.tar ...');
Which will procede to fill Apache's error log with complaints of a broken
pipe whilst writing.
The problem doesn't show up using a stock compile of tar 1.14.91 from
the gnu ftp site.
I'm using libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 and gzip 1.3.5-9.
