python: Python tarfile module: Denial of Service via improper EOF handling in streaming mode

A flaw was found in the Python tarfile module. When processing a specially crafted tar archive opened in 'streaming mode' mode='r|', the module does not properly handle the end-of-file EOF condition. This can cause the tarfile module to enter an infinite loop, leading to a Denial of Service DoS f...
