"In the nodejs module node-tar prior to version 6.2.1, there is no validation of the number of folders created while
unpacking a file. As a result, an attacker can use a malicious file to exhaust the CPU and memory on the host and crash
the nodejs client.

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