Package: bsdtar
Version: 3.1.2-10
Severity: minor
I wanted to create a tar archive with a path that had multiple leading
slashes[0]. But this doesn't seem to be possible with bsdtar:
$ bsdtar -Pcf test.tar //bin/true && tar -Ptf test.tar
/bin/true
For comparison, GNU tar is happy to create such an archive:
$ tar -Pcf test.tar //bin/true && tar -Ptf test.tar
//bin/true
[0] In case you wonder why would anyone want to do that:
I'm trying to craft archives for testing various archive extraction
software against directory traversal:
