How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 bsdtar to version 0:3.1.2-10.el7_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2016-1844.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bsdtar package and not the bsdtar package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sandboxing code in libarchive 3.2.0 and earlier mishandles hardlink archive entries of non-zero data size, which might allow remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted archive file.
