Stack-based Buffer Overflow

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow in the rawtoheader function when processing TAR archive headers that contain non-null-terminated name or linkname fields. An attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code o...

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 ...

EUVD-2026-37712

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...

CVE-2026-43623

A flaw was found in microtar. A remote attacker could exploit a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the rawtoheader function by supplying a crafted TAR archive with non-null-terminated name or linkname fields. This flaw allows the attacker to corrupt adjacent stack memory, which may lead...

CVE-2026-43623

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...
