[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1038698] Re: core dump when starting new game

[Steven Noonan]

Crash occurs because of a bug in libtar. They're not respecting the
bounds checking code in glibc, and it catches them misbehaving.

Attached patch resolves the issue. This bug should be reassigned to
libtar.

** Patch added: "libtar-1.2.11-encode_buffer_overrun_fix.patch"
