The impact is limited because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However,...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Python 3.11, Python 3.7

The “tarfile” module will still apply normalization of AREGTYPE \x00 blocks to DIRTYPE, even when processing multi-block members such as GNUTYPELONGNAME or GNUTYPELONGLINK. This could lead to a crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other implementations...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Cpio

In all versions of cpio before 2.13, input files are not properly validated when generating TAR archives. When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths that attackers can access, the resulting archive may contain files with permissions that the attacker does not have, or in paths to which t...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-87910

When tarfile extracts a link on a system that doesn't support links, it falls back to extracting a member from the archive. In this case, the filter function is run twice: once for the extracted member, and once with name set to the location of the link. For one of the calls, the return value was...
