"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - tar-rs is a tar archive reading/writing library for Rust. Versions 0.4.44 and below have conditional logic
    that skips the PAX size header in cases where the base header size is nonzero. As part of CVE-2025-62518,
    the astral-tokio-tar project was changed to correctly honor PAX size headers in the case where it was
    different from the base header. This is almost the inverse of the astral-tokio-tar issue. Any discrepancy
    in how tar parsers honor file size can be used to create archives that appear differently when unpacked by
    different archivers. In this case, the tar-rs (Rust tar) crate is an outlier in checking for the header
    size - other tar parsers (including e.g. Go archive/tar) unconditionally use the PAX size override. This
    can affect anything that uses the tar crate to parse archives and expects to have a consistent view with
    other parsers. This issue has been fixed in version 0.4.45. (CVE-2026-33055)
