++CVE-2016-6321
++* Member names containing '..' components are now skipped when extracting.
++This fixes tar's behavior to match its documentation, and is a bit
++safer when extracting untrusted archives over old files (an unsafe
++practice that the tar manual has long recommended against).
++
+ * New options: --verbatim-files-from, --no-verbatim-files-from
+ 
+ The --verbatim-files-from option instructs tar to treat each line read
