Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
tar (affected versions not specified)
Description
tar incorrectly handles certain crafted archive files. This allows an attacker to inject hidden files containing attacker-controlled content, which can bypass inspection mechanisms used before extraction.
Recommendations
Update tar to version 1.30+dfsg-7ubuntu0.20.04.4+esm1.
Update tar-scripts to version 1.30+dfsg-7ubuntu0.20.04.4+esm1.
