Bugtraq: tar-error

[inter () BLUE MISNET COM (inter)]

Hey, I dont know if anyone knows about this or if this is even exploitable,
however I have found in many Linux slackware distros a common file in /tmp.
This file comes about after installation. Its tar-error which is root.root
-rw-rw-rw-. I dont know if anyone has noticed however I was curious if
this file also come about after ugrades in slackware distros and possibly
if this file would follow links to .rhosts or passwds..
Just a thought.
