 In  order to exploit this vulnerability you need to force victim to run
 attacker-supplied   BAT   file.   It's   like   forcing   user  to  run
 attacker-supplied  .sh script under Unix.


And oddly enough, the *very next mail* from Bugtraq said:


FreeBSD-SA-07:10.gtar                                       Security Advisory
                                                          The FreeBSD Project



Topic:          gtar directory traversal vulnerability

...

III. Impact



An attacker who can convince an user to extract a specially crafted
archive can overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions of the user
running gtar.  If that user is root, the attacker can overwrite any
file on the system.


Apparently, somebody at FreeBSD thinks "can be exploited if you trick the
user into doing something" is a valid attack vector.
