    * CVE-2025-8194: fix infinite loop and deadlock in TarFile extraction and
    entry enumeration APIs
    CVE(s):
    CVE-2025-8194
    There is a defect in the CPython tarfile module affecting the TarFile extraction and entry enumeration
    APIs. The tar implementation would process tar archives with negative offsets without error, resulting in
    an infinite loop and deadlock during the parsing of maliciously crafted tar archives. This vulnerability
    can be mitigated by including the following patch after importing the tarfile module:
    https://gist.github.com/sethmlarson/1716ac5b82b73dbcbf23ad2eff8b33e1

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
