Three Mandriva Linux Advisories:

1. MDKSA-2006:219 - Updated tar packages fix vulnerability

2. MDKA-2006:055 - Updated rpmdrake packages address several issues

3. MDKA-2006:056 - Updated drakxtools packages address several issues

Detail
======

1. GNU tar 1.16 and 1.15.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a tar file that contains a GNUTYPE_NAMES record with a symbolic link, which is not properly handled by the extract_archive function in extract.c and extract_mangle function in mangle.c, a variant of CVE-2002-1216.

2. Several bugs were fixed in rpmdrake: - various people saw crashes due to invalid UTF-8 strings (#26099) - edit-urpm-sources.pl didn't start if urpmi.cfg did not exist (#27336) - MandrivaUpdate got several fixes:
o it was impossible to select an update where there was only one group
(#26135) o all updates are preselected by default (#25271) o all security, bugfix & normal updates were not displayed in "all updates"
mode (#27268) o default is now "all updates" rather than "security updates"

3. Several bugs were fixed in drakxtools:
