NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bsdtar package and not the bsdtar package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

libarchive through 3.7.7 has a heap-based buffer over-read in header_gnu_longlink in archive_read_support_format_tar.c via a TAR archive because it mishandles truncation in the middle of a GNU long linkname.
