| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-01-30 | CVE-2022-48303 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in multiple products GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read that results in use of uninitialized memory for a conditional jump. | 5.5 |
| 2021-03-26 | CVE-2021-20193 | Memory Leak vulnerability in GNU TAR A flaw was found in the src/list.c of tar 1.33 and earlier. | 5.5 |
| 2019-03-22 | CVE-2019-9923 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products pax_decode_header in sparse.c in GNU Tar before 1.32 had a NULL pointer dereference when parsing certain archives that have malformed extended headers. | 7.5 |
| 2018-12-26 | CVE-2018-20482 | Infinite Loop vulnerability in multiple products 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). | 1.9 |
| 2016-12-09 | CVE-2016-6321 | Path Traversal vulnerability in GNU TAR Directory traversal vulnerability in the safer_name_suffix function in GNU tar 1.14 through 1.29 might allow remote attackers to bypass an intended protection mechanism and write to arbitrary files via vectors related to improper sanitization of the file_name parameter, aka POINTYFEATHER. | 7.5 |
| 2010-03-15 | CVE-2010-0624 | Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Cpio and TAR Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmt_read__ function in lib/rtapelib.c in the rmt client functionality in GNU tar before 1.23 and GNU cpio before 2.11 allows remote rmt servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending more data than was requested, related to archive filenames that contain a : (colon) character. | 6.8 |
| 2007-09-05 | CVE-2007-4476 | Buffer overflow in the safer_name_suffix function in GNU tar has unspecified attack vectors and impact, resulting in a "crashing stack." | 7.5 |
| 2007-08-25 | CVE-2007-4131 | Remote Directory Traversal vulnerability in GNU Tar Dot_Dot Function Directory traversal vulnerability in the contains_dot_dot function in src/names.c in GNU tar allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via certain //.. | 6.8 |
| 2006-11-24 | CVE-2006-6097 | Remote Directory Traversal vulnerability in GNU TAR 1.15.1/1.16 GNU tar 1.16 and 1.15.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a tar file that contains a GNUTYPE_NAMES record with a symbolic link, which is not properly handled by the extract_archive function in extract.c and extract_mangle function in mangle.c, a variant of CVE-2002-1216. | 4.0 |
| 2006-02-24 | CVE-2006-0300 | Buffer Overflow vulnerability in GNU Tar Invalid Headers Buffer overflow in tar 1.14 through 1.15.90 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute code via unspecified vectors involving PAX extended headers. | 5.1 |
