The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2023:2898 advisory.

  • An attacker who submits a crafted tar file with size in header struct being 0 may be able to trigger an calling of malloc(0) for a variable gnu_longlink, causing an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2021-33643)

  • An attacker who submits a crafted tar file with size in header struct being 0 may be able to trigger an calling of malloc(0) for a variable gnu_longname, causing an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2021-33644)

  • The th_read() function doesn’t free a variable t->th_buf.gnu_longlink after allocating memory, which may cause a memory leak. (CVE-2021-33645)

  • The th_read() function doesn’t free a variable t->th_buf.gnu_longname after allocating memory, which may cause a memory leak. (CVE-2021-33646)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
