Descriptions

archive_read_support_format_tar.c in libarchive before 2.2.4 does not properly compute the length of a certain buffer when processing a malformed pax extension header, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) PAX or (2) TAR archive that triggers a buffer overflow.

El archive_read_support_format_tar.c en el libarchive anterior al 2.2.4 no calcula adecuadamente la longitud de ciertos búfers cuando está procesando cabeceras de la extensión pax mal formadas, lo que permite a atacantes con la intervención del usuario provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y, posiblemente, ejecutar código de su elección a través de archivos (1) PAX o (2) TAR que disparen desbordamientos de búfer.
