11 Jul 2025 — GNU Tar through 1.35 allows file overwrite via directory traversal in crafted TAR archives, with a certain two-step process. First, the victim must extract an archive that contains a ../ symlink to a critical directory. Second, the victim must extract an archive that contains a critical file, specified via a relative pathname that begins with the symlink name and ends with that critical file's name. Here, the extraction follows the symlink and overwrites the critical file. This bypasses the protection mecha... • https://github.com/i900008/vulndb/blob/main/Gnu_tar_vuln.md • CWE-24: Path Traversal: '../filedir' •
CVSS: 5.5EPSS: 0%CPEs: 3EXPL: 1CVE-2022-48303 – tar: heap buffer overflow at from_header() in list.c via specially crafted checksum
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-48303
30 Jan 2023 — GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read that results in use of uninitialized memory for a conditional jump. Exploitation to change the flow of control has not been demonstrated. The issue occurs in from_header in list.c via a V7 archive in which mtime has approximately 11 whitespace characters. A flaw was found in the Tar package. When attempting to read files with old V7 tar format with a specially crafted checksum, an invalid memory read may occur. • https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/CRY7VEL4AIG3GLIEVCTOXRZNSVYDYYUD • CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read •

31 Aug 2021 — The npm package "tar" (aka node-tar) before versions 4.4.18, 5.0.10, and 6.1.9 has an arbitrary file creation/overwrite and arbitrary code execution vulnerability. node-tar aims to guarantee that any file whose location would be outside of the extraction target directory is not extracted. This is, in part, accomplished by sanitizing absolute paths of entries within the archive, skipping archive entries that contain `..` path portions, and resolving the sanitized paths against the extraction target directory... • https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-389290.pdf • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') •

This is achieved by stripping the absolute path root from any absolute file paths contained in a tar file.

26 Dec 2018 — GNU Tar through 1.30, when --sparse is used, mishandles file shrinkage during read access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite read loop in sparse_dump_region in sparse.c) by modifying a file that is supposed to be archived by a different user's process (e.g., a system backup running as root).
