node-tar: tar: node-tar: Arbitrary file overwrite via Unicode path collision race condition

A flaw was found in node-tar, a library for Node.js. This race condition vulnerability occurs due to incomplete handling of Unicode path collisions within the path-reservations system on case-insensitive filesystems, such as macOS APFS. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially...

CVE-2026-40025

A flaw was found in The Sleuth Kit. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious Apple File System APFS disk image. This flaw allows for an out-of-bounds read in the APFS filesystem keybag parser, specifically within the wrappedkeyparser class, due to a lack of bounds checki...

CVE-2026-40025

The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the APFS filesystem keybag parser where the wrappedkeyparser class follows attacker-controlled length fields without bounds checking, causing heap reads past the allocated buffer. An attacker can craft a malicious APFS...

CVE-2026-40025

The vulnerability CVE-2026-40025 affects Sleuth Kit up to version 4.14.0, in the APFS filesystem keybag parser. The root cause is an out-of-bounds read: the wrapped_key_parser uses attacker-controlled length fields without bounds checking, enabling heap reads past the allocated buffer. A crafted ...

Important: nodejs24

Issue Overview: node-tar is a Tar for Node.js. The node-tar library = 7.5.2 fails to sanitize the linkpath of Link hardlink and SymbolicLink entries when preservePaths is false the default secure behavior. This allows malicious archives to bypass the extraction root restriction, leading to...
