📄 Description (English)

A flaw was found in tar. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious archive, leading to hidden file injection with fully attacker-controlled content. This bypasses pre-extraction inspection mechanisms, potentially allowing an attacker to introduce malicious files onto a system without detection.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Update tar to the latest patched version immediately. Implement strict file extraction policies, disable automatic extraction of untrusted archives, validate archive contents before extraction, and use cryptographic signatures to verify archive integrity. Monitor systems for suspicious hidden files and restrict tar permissions to trusted users only.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
قم بتحديث tar إلى أحدث إصدار معدل فوراً. طبق سياسات صارمة لاستخراج الملفات، وعطل الاستخراج التلقائي للأرشيفات غير الموثوقة، والتحقق من محتويات الأرشيف قبل الاستخراج، واستخدم التوقيعات التشفيرية للتحقق من سلامة الأرشيف. راقب الأنظمة بحثاً عن ملفات مريبة مخفية وقيد صلاحيات tar للمستخدمين الموثوقين فقط.
