Summary

`tokio-tar` parses PAX extended headers incorrectly, allows file smuggling

Details

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The tokio-tar crate is archived and no longer maintained, we recommend you switch to an alternative crate such as: - astral-tokio-tar
