NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:18/nodejs-full-i18n package and not the nodejs:18/nodejs-full-i18n package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

node-tar is a Tar for Node.js. node-tar prior to version 6.2.1 has no limit on the number of sub-folders created in the folder creation process. An attacker who generates a large number of sub-folders can consume memory on the system running node-tar and even crash the Node.js client within few seconds of running it using a path with too many sub-folders inside. Version 6.2.1 fixes this issue by preventing extraction in excessively deep sub-folders.
