Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict in the extraction process. An attacker can cause a parser differential by crafting a tar archive with malformed PAX extensions that are silently skipped, potentially leading a secondary misbehaving tar parser to misinterpret the archive contents. This is only exploitable if a secondary tar parser is used that does not properly validate malformed PAX extensions and interprets them instead of skipping or erroring on them.
