Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the parsing process of a tar archive containing a PAX extended header with a malformed SUN.holesdata sparse-file attribute. An attacker can cause a heap overflow and out-of-bounds read by supplying a specially crafted tar archive, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
