The Node.js tar module is used by the package manager npm, which is included in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container images. Use of npm when building images based on IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container images may be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. This bulletin provides patch information to address the reported vulnerability CVE-2021-37712 in the Node.js tar module.
CVEID:CVE-2021-37712
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an arbitrary file creation/overwrite vulnerability. By creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink that had a different apparent name that resolved to the same entry in the filesystem, an attacker could use an untrusted tar file to symlink into an arbitrary location and extract arbitrary files into that location to create or overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the system.
