NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream oracle-free-21-extras package and not the oracle-free-21-extras package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

When reading a specially crafted TAR archive, Compress can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out of memory error even for very small inputs. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' tar package.
