[FD] [CSS] POINTYFEATHER / tar extract pathname bypass (CVE-2016-6321) - patch update

[Harry Sintonen <fulldisclosure@xxxxxxxx>]

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.

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