Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the th_read function in lib/block.c in libtar before 1.2.20 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long (1) name or (2) link in an archive, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en la función the_read de lib/block.c en libtar anterior a 1.2.20 permite a atacantes remotos causar una dengación de servicio (crash) y posiblemente ejecuta código de forma arbitraria a través de un largo (1) nombre o (2) enlace en un archivo, lo que dispara un desbordamiento de buffer (heap)
