node-tar: tar: node-tar: Arbitrary file creation via path traversal bypass in hardlink security check

A flaw was found in node-tar, a Node.js module for handling TAR archives. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass path traversal protections by crafting a malicious TAR archive. The security check for hardlink entries uses different path resolution logic than the actual hardlink...

SUSE CVE-2026-11940

tarfile.extractall with the 'data' or 'tar' filter could be bypassed by a crafted archive where a hardlink references a symlink stored at a deeper name than the hardlink itself. The extraction fallback validated the symlink at it's archived location but recreated it at the hardlink's shallower...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in busybox

A flaw was discovered in BusyBox. This vulnerability allows an attacker to modify files outside of the intended extraction directory by creating a malicious tar archive containing unvalidated hardlink or symlink entries. If the tar archive is extracted with elevated privileges, this flaw can lead...
