How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 python39-base to version 3.9.25-150300.4.99.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python39-base package and not the python39-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The "tarfile" module would still apply normalization of AREGTYPE (\x00) blocks to DIRTYPE, even while processing a multi-block member such as GNUTYPE_LONGNAME or GNUTYPE_LONGLINK. This could result in a crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other implementations.
