10.2 Security
In some cases tar may be used in an adversarial situation,
where an untrusted user is attempting to gain information about or
modify otherwise-inaccessible files. Dealing with untrusted data
(that is, data generated by an untrusted user) typically requires
extra care, because even the smallest mistake in the use of
tar is more likely to be exploited by an adversary than by a
race condition.
