NVD Description

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

node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.17, node-tar does not strip NUL bytes from PAX path and linkpath records in src/pax.ts, allowing a crafted archive with values to reach fs.lstat or fs.open and terminate the process with an uncaught exception. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.17.
