RUSTSEC-2025-0111
No affected components available
The archive reader incorrectly handles PAX extended headers, when the ustar
header incorrectly specifies zero size (size=000000000000), while a PAX
header specifies a non-zero size, tokio-tar::Archive is going to read the
file content as tar entry header.
This can be used by a tar file to present different content to tokio-tar
compared to other tar reader implementations.
This bug is also known as CVE-2025-62518 and GHSA-j5gw-2vrg-8fgx, as those
crates share a common ancestor codebase.
The tokio-tar crate is archived and no longer maintained, we recommend you
switch to an alternative crate such as:
Measures severity based on intrinsic characteristics of the vulnerability, independent of environment.
