[ Reason ]

The previous version on the fix for CVE-CVE-2022-37705 introduced a
regression that is fixed by this version.  


[ Impact ]

Breaks the use of tar, for backups in some setups, on the affected
clients, i.e., the use of package amanda-client.  The server can not
backup itself, but can backups clients with good amanda client
software,



[ Tests ]

I manually tested the affected version and the fixed version, using a
VM running testing (bookworm) with a amanda compiled for sid.  The
test is to do backup of the server.  The detail that breaks or not is
two options in a dumptype that specifies what program to use for
backup.  When using traditional and old interface for gnutar it
breaks.  When using the new interface it is not affected.

I do not have experience in C language to do a proper review of the
patch that is very simple, but broken in 3.5.1-10.


[ Risks ]

The fix in 3.5.1-10 for the three CVEs are a low risks ones because
user backup is a restricted user.  Only people with previliges already
can login as user backup and try to run the setgid binaries.  For the
people affected by regression 3.5.1-10 can workaround using an older
version on the affected clients.  This bugs does not affect other
packages as amanda-client is a leaf package.
