CVE-2026-59874 node-tar: Negative tar entry size causes infinite loop in archive replace

node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, tar.replace accepts a checksum-valid tar header with a negative base-256 encoded entry size, causing the archive scanner to make no progress while repeatedly parsing the same header. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.18...

PT-2026-56494

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions node-tar versions prior to 7.5.18 Description The tar.replace function accepts a checksum-valid tar header containing a negative base-256 encoded entry size. This causes the archive scanner to enter a loop where it repeatedly parses the same...

Integer Overflow or Wraparound

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound via the mtarnext function. An attacker can cause the process to enter an infinite loop and consume excessive CPU resources by providing a specially crafted tar archive that manipulates the header size fiel...

CVE-2026-55738

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the rawtoheader function in src/microtar.c in rxi microtar 0.1.0. The function copies the 100-byte name and linkname fields of a TAR header with strcpy without guaranteeing null termination of the source...

CVE-2026-55738 Stack Buffer Overflow in rxi/microtar raw_to_header() via non-null-terminated TAR name field

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the rawtoheader function in src/microtar.c in rxi microtar 0.1.0. The function copies the 100-byte name and linkname fields of a TAR header with strcpy without guaranteeing null termination of the source...

CVE-2026-55738

The CVE covers a stack-based buffer overflow in rxi/microtar 0.1.0 due to using strcpy() on the 100-byte TAR header name and linkname fields in raw_to_header(). The lack of guaranteed null termination allows reading past the 512-byte header and writing past the destination header buffer, causing ...

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the rawtoheader function in src/microtar.c in rxi microtar 0.1.0. The function copies the 100-byte name and linkname fields of a TAR header with strcpy without guaranteeing null termination of the source. The POSIX ustar format permits these fixed-width...

EUVD-2026-33741

microtar through 0.1.0 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the rawtoheader function in src/microtar.c that allows attackers to corrupt adjacent stack memory by supplying a crafted TAR archive with non-null-terminated name or linkname fields. The function uses strcpy to copy...
