NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apk-tools package and not the apk-tools package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.13 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap overflow in apk (Alpine Linux's package manager) allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, or achieve code execution, by crafting a malicious APKINDEX.tar.gz file with a bad pax header block.
