Update on the advisory: As pointed out by several people, the ERROR
macro did't fail the operation in a desired way: Files were still
being created by tar. In order to really stop tar from doing silly
things, FATAL_ERROR macro needs to be used instead.

The patch has now been updated accordingly.

Updated Patch:

NOTE: Ideas on how to make tar safely skip such entries instead of
failing the whole operating are welcome.
