package/tar: ignore CVE-2007-4476

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2007-4476

Currently NVD has this incorrectly tagged for all versions.
The bug trackers on different distros show it was generally
fixed in versions >= 1.16 but because the impacted source
code is in the GNU paxutils, it is hard to follow in what
cases tar has been fixed around that 1.16 version.
