tar: node-tar: Denial of Service via crafted gzip bomb

A flaw was found in node-tar, a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to craft a small gzip bomb, which, when processed, can lead to the exhaustion of disk space and CPU resources. This occurs because node-tar does not enforce strict limits on t...

CVE-2026-59875

A flaw was found in node-tar, a library for manipulating tar archives in Node.js. A remote attacker could craft a malicious archive containing null characters NUL bytes in its metadata. When this archive is processed, the unstripped null characters can cause the application to terminate...
