    When reading a specially crafted TAR archive, Compress can be made to allocate large amounts of memory
    that finally leads to an out of memory error even for very small inputs. This could be used to mount a
    denial of service attack against services that use Compress' tar package.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
