      <title>GHSA-3cv2-h65g-fgmm — astral-tokio-tar has a PAX Header Desynchronization issue</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/ghsa-3cv2-h65g-fgmm</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; crates.io: astral-tokio-tar&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Versions of astral-tokio-tar prior to 0.6.2 contain a PAX header interpretation bug that allows manipulated entries to be made selectively visible or invisible during extraction with astral-tokio-tar versus other tar implementations. An attacker could use this differential to smuggle unexpected files onto a victim&amp;#39;s filesystem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Details&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a tar stream contains multiple &amp;#34;header&amp;#34; entries prior to a file entry, astral-tokio-tar applies the PAX header (`x`) to the next entry in the stream, regardless of type. For example, a stream of `x -&amp;gt; L -&amp;gt; file` (PAX, GNU longname, file) would result in `x`&amp;#39;s extensions being applied to `L` rather than to `file`.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Per POSIX pax](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/pax.html), this is incorrect: a PAX header always applies to a file entry, not any intermediary entries. See the &amp;#34;pax Header Block&amp;#34; section for the specific prescription there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a result of this, an attacker can contrive a tar containing a sequence of tar headers such that astral-tokio-tar applies the PAX header&amp;#39;s size extension to the next header in sequence, effectively desynchronizing the stream and enabling astral-tokio-tar specific skippage/extraction of members. In other words, a file can be contrived to extract differently on astral-tokio-tar than on other tar parsers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Patches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Versions 0.6.2 and newer of astral-tokio-tar address this differential.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Workarounds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users are advised to upgrade to version 0.6.1 or newer to…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
